Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled BATs:

The 26th of any month is Finals Day, on which the Students will sit their BAT (Baccalaureate of Advanced Thaumaturgy) exams.

The BATs start at midday on Finals Day. As soon as possible after midday, an exam post shall be made for each Subject by any Student, with a title in the following format: [SUBJECT] Exam with [TEACHER]. Each Exam post is open for 48 hours; if it has been open for more than 48 hours it becomes closed. A Student must successfully perform an exam action and make a comment to the open exam post detailing that action in order to pass each subject.

Valid exam actions are as follows:

* If a Student has an A+ or an A in a subject then their mere presence in an exam is sufficient to pass it, and that Student may pass the subject simply by making a comment to the exam post saying “Ace the exam.”
* If a Student has a B or a C in a subject then they must make a practical or theoretical demonstration of their competence in a subject. If such a Student casts a spell that requires that Student to meet a difficulty level in that Subject while the exam post is open then that constitutes a successful exam action. Alternatively, if that Student proposes a new Spell which requires the caster to meet a difficulty level in that Subject, and the proposal is enacted, then that also constitutes a successful exam action. Note that, while the Student in the second instance can perform the action and make a comment to the exam post detailing it while it is still open, it will not be clear whether the student has passed or failed the exam until well after the exam post closes.
* If a Student has a D or an E in a subject then they must become the Pet of the Teacher responsible for that subject, and then perform one of the actions detailed for students who have attained a B or C in that subject, in order to perform a successful exam action.
* If a Student has an F or Ungraded in a subject then they cannot pass the exam.

When a Student passes an exam, they may add BAT-[SUBJECT] to their list of Titles, where [SUBJECT] is the three-letter acronym denoting the subject in which they have passed their BAT. They must then reduce their Grade in that subject to Ungraded. When an exam post closes, any Students who have not passed (and who do not have pending proposals that would enable them to pass) have failed. A Student who fails an exam in a subject gets a Grudge with the Teacher responsible for that subject and must decrement their Grade in that subject, to a minimum of F.

A Student who has passed their BAT in all Subjects has achieved victory.

Add a new sub-rule to this rule, entitled Student Assistants:

A Student who has passed their BAT in a Subject and who does not have a current open Study Group may, as a weekly action, start a Study Group by making a new post entitled “Study Group: [SUBJECT]”. Provided that no more than five other Students have already done so, any Student who is Free can join the Study Group. A Student who joins a Study Group may once increment their grade in the relevant subject, to a maximum of C. If 6 Students have joined a Study Group then the Study Group closes. Joining a Study Group does not cause a Student to stop being Free.

Add a new sub-rule to rule 2.8, entitled Explosive Cramming:

Difficulty level: LAT 3, [x]0 (If [x] is LAT then the difficulty level for this spell is LAT 4)
Effect: The caster may increment their grade in [x]. The caster does not have to decrement their grade in any subject as a result of casting this spell.

Add the following to the end of the spell entitled “Revive”:

Upon casting this spell the caster must decrement their grade in all subjects.
