Amon had researched the possible academic points given by the other classes.
The theory class had yearly written tests that were carried out in one full week, covering different subjects taught in the theory classes. Each of the seven days tests granted a maximum of 500 academic points. If a student got a full score on every test throughout the five years, the maximum they could get is 17,500 academic points.
The cultivation class was graded yearly. If a student fully advanced a small stage in one year, they got 5,000 scores. This small stage was the beginner to intermediate, or intermediate to peak. Continuing such a feat in five years would net them 25,000 academic points. Which was, of course, impossible. That meant one would need to advance almost two full stages in five years. At their cultivation level, this was not doable without some sort of miracle pills.
