Genin Exams

The Genin Exams ( 下忍試験 , Genin Shiken ), also known as the Graduation Exams ( 卒業試験 , Sotsugyō Shiken ) are an opportunity for Academy Students to be promoted to genin .

Originally, Konohagakure students were given a two-phase exam in which they had to be able to properly perform the Clone Technique to pass, and those who succeed will further be tested by a jōnin to determine whether they can officially become genin, or be sent back to the Academy for further training; the second phase was set up to ensure only 33% of the student body would be able to become genin. However, at least ten years after the Fourth Shinobi World War , the graduation process had changed to a timed written test and a twenty-four hour practical application exam the following day.

## Trivia [ ]

- During Kirigakure 's reign as the "Village of the Bloody Mist", Academy students wishing to graduate had to fight to the death against their peers. This was abolished when Zabuza Momochi massacred the year's candidates.
