Note 1: Test Restriction is what you get if you try to cheat on the system by abusing the rules or test in any way.

Note 2: There is no Obelisk Blue Exam. To get into Abandoned you need to bring high effort in general for DA for a longer period of time or win a DA YCS - most valuable tournament in DA which is held once or twice a year.

1. Fulfill the requirements for the Test Item.
2. Create an account in DA Exam site located HERE. "Create an Account" is located at the bottom of Members Area section. Your Name and Username in DA exam site must be same as your Username here in Duel Academy or your exam request will be denied.
3. Post your Test Item request as a new topic in the section located HERE. Title of the topic must be your name plus the name of exam you are requesting. (Example: "Amy Cool [Slifer Red Exam]"). If you don't make the title in this way, your request will be denied.
4. Wait for Staff member's reply to see if your request was accepted or denied.
5. If you get accepted, after you login in the DA Exam site, the requested Exam will be available.
6. Take the test (be sure to read twice technical information given to you just before you enter the test) and wait for your results which will be posted in the request topic you made in step 3.
7. If you obtain a 75 or better on this test, you will be allowed to take the dueling test.
8. If your combined scores are at least 85%, you will have passed the test.

Note: For additional attempts you don't have to create an account again. Just use your already created one but request the exam in the new topic each time.

1. Cheating will not be tolerated. Following actions are considered cheating: anything that tries to avoid normal flow of the exam in technical way, anything that will help you solve questions without using your own knowledge (exceptions given in rule No. 2).

2. Using internet content (ex: Google) to find answers to your questions is considered gathering knowledge during the exam time and therefore permitted.

3. Read the technical details that will be presented to you just before you enter the exam. Questions are paginated (have multiple pages) and the pages change on slide by clicking "Next" or "Back" links. There is also a general button that submits the exam, regardless of completion. The test taker takes all responsibility for reading and understanding any and all instructions given, as well as organizing and keeping track of the time remaining for the test.

4. Test Items last only once. The test may be taken multiple times, but a new Test Item must be purchased for each attempt.

5. Any violation of testing protocol will result in a minimum punishment or Test Restriction (being forbidden from taking the test again). Punishment is not only limited to this; expulsion from Duel Academy, including a permanent IP ban, may be given depending on the severity of the infraction.

Exams will have time limit and can be taken once per Test Item. Questions will be paginated. "Submit" button will be always there so don't confuse it with the "Next" and "Back" links to go between pages. "Submit" button will end your test even if you did not answer all questions. Make that clear to yourself before you actually submit your exam after 1st page.

Each question will have weight of 1 point. Some are harder and some easier. However, to pass the test it will usually mean u need to get all questions right. A detailed review on your test will not be given; only information if you passed or not and how many correct answers you had.

Slifer Red Exam (to become Ra Yellow)
This exam will consist of two parts: Slifer Red Exam and Slifer Red Dueling Test. First one is general knowledge like game mechanics and rulings, mostly multiple choice type. The second part will be a dueling test with an approved instructor. Combined they will give you a point total. That will decide whether you pass or fail. An average of 85 is required to pass.


Ra Yellow Exam (to become Obelisk Blue)
Unlike Slifer Red Exam, Ra Yellow Exam won't have two parts. It will be composed of essay questions like Slifer Red Exam 2/2. However, the difference will be more details asked, harder questions. It will have wider range meaning that more aspects will be covered. Due to complexity of questions and the fact that those cannot be answered straight forward without any deep thinking, this exam will give you much more time to work without pressure.
