"The Testing was created to find the best leaders, and to make sure that inadequate leaders aren't chosen. At the end of every school year, the Graduating class is assessed to see if any students are acceptable as candidates for the Testing. If you are chosen, you are taken from your colony to Tosu City, the capital of the United Commonwealth, where you will be tested. The Testing process consists of four parts. Over the next two days, you will sit for the written exams. These will test your knowledge of history, science, mathematics, and reading as well as give us an idea of your logic and problem-solving skills. After these tests are evaluated, we will make our first cuts. Part two is a series of hands-on examinations that will allow you to demonstrate your ability to transfer intellectual knowledge into practicle use. Those who pass will be asked to participate in part three, an examination that will test your ability to work in teams and assess your teammates' strengths and weaknesses. Finally, part four will test your decision-making and leadership abilities. Those who get high marks in all four sections of the Testing will then have a one-on-one evaluation with the selection committee. This final personality and psychological evaluation will help us determine who move on to the University, where you will join with other outstanding minds to help restore the land and our country to their former glory. This is a lofty goal, but from what I'm hearing about this class of candidates, I'm certain you can achieve it." - Dr. Barnes
