The Ounabara Proficiency Exam is different from the other exams you’ve just answered. Instead of unique questions, this exam asks you to take on all the questions you’ve answered before and answer them again in this exam. The kicker, though? If you just get one answer wrong then you’ve failed it. That’s right, no more 3 out of 5 questions being good enough to pass. Nope. You’ll need to get 5 out of 5.

Because these are questions that you’ve all answered before, we think to include them again is a little silly. Instead, give all of these exam questions one last look before venturing in. It could just be the difference between a pass and a fail!
