    Below is the answers from my old FFVIII guide. This is possible to get as soon as you finish the test in Dollet. With this said, providing you have managed to grind yourself to level 30 you can do all the tests at once. Alternatively, you can use the assists (pressing in your analogue sticks) to speed up time to X3 and have invulnerability on, resulting in instants turns.

    There are ten questions in total. Per exam. To increase your rank simply go to the tutorial section in the menu and select TEST. Input the following answers and you will hit the max rank eventually.

    It is worth noting that you can ONLY PERFORM the test up to your current level. Example, if you are level 15 as squall, you can only take the first 15 exams.

    Y= yes
    N =No

    SlightlyEroticI don’t think you are doing anything wrong as such as a lot of others are also messaging me directly. Sounds like the cheevs could be “glitched” as the others had do GF summons and stuff like this twice for it to register. Only time it did it for me was with the Tonberry cheev. It didn’t unlock and I had to do it again

    P00R GRENDELI completed all the exams bit only got to rank 27. Is there a way I can get to Rank A without exams?

    I have just unlocked this after several attempts because the achievement was glitched for me.

    (As of 17/9/19):

    If you lose any SeeD ranks before completing all the tests, you will only get to rank 29 or below when you complete them and this won’t unlock. For me, it wouldn’t even unlock when I achieved the last rank through grinding kills.

    Seems to only unlock if you reach the highest seed rank through a SeeD test.

    My suggestion is to try and fight regularly so as not to lose SeeD rank. If you do lose any ranks I would make them up again through battle before completing the tests.

    I also recommend not doing any tests at all until you hit level 30 and then just do them all at once. The guide above by TA member ‘SlightlyErotic’ is fantastic.
