Examination Passing Grade

• Low Grade

  • The passing grade for the exams is very lax, eliminating a minute amount of entrants
  • You will earn a lot less Legitimacy on completion

  We need these merited officials now. I make the rules and determine the standards; they follow. Such is my mandate.

• Mediocre Grade

  • The passing grade for the exams is a tad relaxed, eliminating a smaller amount of entrants
  • You will earn less Legitimacy on completion

  What's to say these entrants with humble beginnings won't learn on the job. As long as they have solid foundations, I say let them pass.

• High Grade

  • The passing grade for the exams is regular, eliminating an expected amount of entrants
  • Legitimacy rewards on completion are unaffected

  My standards are high; but not unreasonable. If we want government officials based on merit, they need to reach a certain degree of excellence.

• Extreme Grade

  • The passing grade for the exams is very high, eliminating a lot of entrants
  • You will earn a lot more Legitimacy on completion

  Only the cream of the crop shall hold a passing grade and become my next government officials.
