Yay, i feel so proud !!
I almost thought i wouldnt be able to do it, but with about 10 minutes left on the clock, i finally do a Scan to see that it had fully repaired itsself… So then, i was scared that i wasnt hitting it hard enough, and i wasnt. Finally i got Quezecotl boosted to about 150, then i used Selphies limit break, and cast two ultima’s… and BAM. It died with 7 minutes on the clock left… I’m the man! Bow down and worship me !!!

looks at hand and raises an eyebrow Yeah, it’s killable alright. But it’s absolutely not worth the trouble. I mean, the reward is just pitiful. And on top, it lowers your Seed rank. 
No it doesn’t. It raises your SeeD rank.
Anyway… yeah, I’ve done it too, once or twice. It is quite a bit of a pain. One time I beat it, only to have time run out on me fighting stupid soldiers before getting to the end.
Well that’s cool, but I never saw the point since I just used teh exams to raise my rank to the high teens as soon as possible anyway.
I’ve never done it because I like the video you get if yo don’t. How did you have ultimas at the time of the SeeD exam?
Ive never done that, but i have heard its hard to do.
Good job
She had Ultimas, because Selphie’s limit break allows you to use pretty much any spell in the game. Even 4 that you can only use with her limit break.
Congrats. I’ve done that a couple of times before now, but mostly, I don’t bother, I like the FMV.
I forgot about the other spells on Selphie’s limit break, I usually automatically go to ‘full-cure’
DT, nice avatar, i miss talking to you :-p
I noticed that it did lower my grade in two parts of the test, but it gave me a 100 point bonus… As for my rank, it was the same one i useually get when i play, 9. It also says i got a 100 point deduction. Cant figuire out why.
Did you talk to anybody other than your own squad members in Dollet? That can lower your rank.
No, i was specifically careful not to. Would changing and going back to other areas effect it any ? I ran back to the stairs so i could battle Anacondours.
There are a few other factors as well. One of the grades you get depends on how closly you reached the time limit when you’re fighting Ifrit. You have to come within about 10 seconds before the clock reaches 0 to recieve full marks in one area of the exam. I’ve done it once, but it’s hardly worth any of the effort since I just use the exams to raise the rank up high.
And there’s other stuff like saving the dog in the square.

Er yeah. Sorry 'bout that.
You will recieve penalty points for any of the following:
Talking to people outside your party.
Walking to the communications tower from the town square with Seifer’s HP at 0.
Jumping off the ledge outside the tower after Selphie.
Not saving the dog from X-ATM092.
Hiding in the pub whilst X-ATM092 goes past.
I never bothered to completing destroy X-ATM092. I just did enought damage to stun it and get away. I really didn’t care about the extra SEED rank because you could take the extra tests. The FMV sequence rocked too.
Selphie died once, would that cause a penalty ?
As far as I know, that shouldn’t cause a penalty. I’m fairly sure that one of my characters has died against Elvoret before now, without being penalised. The penalties you get are supposed to be for bad conduct, so I doubt you could be penalised for having a character die. Then again, walking with Seifer’s HP at 0 doesn’t really seem like bad conduct either.

No, the deal is that you can’t try to go to Dollet Tower before Seifer runs off ahead of you. That’s what the bad conduct part is.
