Think of careers for a second. The only way you can move up a rank is when you have completed 100% of the required career points. For most people, they complete MORE than 100%.
There is no risk with careers. You can only "pass your career test" when you have "earned an A+". With skills it's sort of the reverse. You can attempt to pass a rank before you are 100% ready, but you risk something in the attempt. I thought about making it where you automatically pass after your 4th attempt, but that would just mean everyone would pass at the minimum grade to take a test.
If you don't want to run the risk of failing a test, treat it like careers. Get 100% of your grade in.

As it stands now, the testing system is working exactly like it was drawn up. With over 1,200 tests taken so far, the success rates are right where they should be.
For those unlucky souls out there who have failed with a B+, perhaps you just need to have an A and take the risk out of the equation. So far no one has failed with an A+.
She didnt actually SAY that you will FOR SURE pass at 100%. She hints at it, and maybe considered what she said if she was very vague, but I consider this as her saying that the chances of failing at 100% are slimmer than if you test at 99%, 85% etc.
