Am I a Graduate?
Want to graduate from the Academy? Here's what you need to do:
#1: Post at least 5 games for help in your Training Field, with no more than 2 at the same time.
#2: Achieve rank of Lieutenant, while earning 25 kills and 5 victories in Training Grounds-style games since joining the Academy.
--Kills accumulate for ANY kill in a Term match AND your personal kills when WINNING a Standard game --Victories are awarded for ANY of the games won by the student in either the Term or Standard matches. --Our Settings: 6-7 player, Classic Map, Standard or Terminator, Escalating, Any Forts, Sunny, Casual, Auto Deploy.
#3: Complete at least 10 Training Grounds style games since joining.
#4: Complete 2 Final Exam games against the staff. (Note: You don't have to win, just demonstrate that you know what we teach)
#5: Graduates must demonstrate a good attitude and a willingness to learn. All teachers have input on potential graduates' behavior.
Use the game finder to research your games. Then post a reply here with the game numbers and details. Please include links to your 5 completed game topics.
Example: Game 13907366 Standard, 5 kills, win. Game 13823998 Terminator, 4 kills, win. Game 13907440 Terminator, 1 kill. Game 13907434 Standard, 1 kill, no win. Does not count. Game 13823848 Standard, 3 kills, win. For these 5 games, I would have 3 wins and 13 kills toward my graduation.

Thanks. I have a pic on my phone too. I got away from posting in classrooms for abotu three weeks but I went prmium and started posting again. Started winning a bunch of term and nuke games using some strategies learned so that was cool. Glad to be back and lookign forward to team and standard training.
I would like to graduate in terminator style. Suggestions in the Classic map have been useful for other maps. Started here as prvt first class and now captain.
[BigImg]Screen%20Shot%202011-09-17%20at%209.29.31%20PM[/BigImg] I didn't think it would take over a month to get back to LT. which I briefly (1.5 hours) attained. So I didn't take a screen shot then. This time I did.
Thanks to the SoC teachers in my class I have reached my hat! Not sure how long I can hold it but it is very difficult to get! I have already learned much from my teachers and they have changed my mind set on Term games. Thanks guys.. not sure if I am a graduate but i have raised my rank according to the OP I think I might have reached the standard.
I would like to go onto the exam game stage please. I am at present Lt rank and have posted about 20 games and completed many more. I joined the SoC and played my first game on 17 Mar 11 and have gained sufficient points sinced then. I thought they all had to be on classic only, but I am now led to believe this is not the case. Thanks for all of the help and advice. I look forward to your decision. ben.cleuch

You have completed all but one step before you get to have Final exams. Your maprank is at +174 right now, you need to bring that up a bit more to at least 300. pm me if you need help checking it.
I'm ready to take my finals. I've learned a lot, and have valued your patience and comments. What a great gift you guys have given me
still have a lot to learn though especially very long , non-escalating games, and lots more maps ... ? ant places like SoC to help with that or should I join a clan and ask advice there?
I haven't posted for a while as oversubscribed over thanksgiving and have been working down my game numbers to get work done, but as a tourney started i'll still be be playing for a good while , so this seems like a good time. Made it to major about 2300. think I was about 1400 when i started...
