Exams

During the NIST Special Program, a rigorous six-month study program, students were required to take intensive monthly exams. These exams were designed to assess the students' knowledge and skills, to measure the development of their talents, and to serve as a form of ranking and grading.

Each monthly exam consisted of a variety of challenging and practical questions related to the topics covered in the program.

Students were tested in areas such as advanced math, science, programming, engineering, and other subjects relevant to the technical training offered by NIST, as well as in their chosen subject areas.

The pressure was high, as the results of these exams affected the students' ranking, influence, and amount of points to be spent within the campus in a variety of ways. The rankings were to be published periodically, and the competition for the top positions after the first month was to be fierce.
