Becoming a SeeD
SeeD candidates must be between 15 years to 19 years old. At 20 they can no longer apply. They have to pass a written exam, a field exam and they have to be accepted by the Headmaster.
Field Exam
This exam can involve many things as it is usually in the form of a live mission assigned to the Garden. While there are active SeeD members at hand during the exams to ensure the mission success SeeD candidates are expected to condone themselves positively and strive to complete their group assigned missions to pass the exam.
The exam is graded via observations made during the mission. Each candidate is judged upon:
• Conduct: How the candidate behaves within the mission and within their team.
• Judgment: The decisions he/she makes and the effect of them upon the mission.
• Attack: How aggressive and skillful the candidate is during the mission.
• Spirit: How brave and/or determined the candidate is during the mission.
• Attitude: Judges the candidate's moral and professional behavior during the mission.
The grading also includes any additional actions and/or events that the examiners deem noteworthy.
The highest SeeD rank obtained depends on the difficulty of the mission where the exam was held but usually the highest rank obtained is Rank 8 although some exceptions have been made.
Sometimes (usually due to difficulty of the mission) a prerequisite is required before a student can participate in the exam. Either the obtainment of a Guardian Force or the completion a low-level mission is the required prerequisite. In such circumstances the student must be accompanied by an Instructor for support and safety reasons.
