Senior Skills Testing Exams and Graduation Advisory Sessions

Minimum skill points to graduate: 18.0
Minimum GPA: 68%
re-takes available: February 25, 2087



Robbie McCullough:

total skill points: 20.45
cumulative GPA: 79%
skilled in: charisma 5, fishing 3


Career Aptitude Test:
Public Service: 92%
Vocational Healthcare: 60%

Suitable Careers:
- correctional officer, firefighter, national guard, security guard, wildlife officer/park ranger, nursing assistant, radiographer, dental hygienist, EMT, military, lifeguard, personal trainer

Guidance Notes: Robbie is on track to graduate high school, but he has indicated that he does not intend to apply to any universities. Robbie’s personality and work ethic suggests he would enjoy a service-oriented career helping people or communities.




Delphie Deppiesse:

total skill points: 22.79
cumulative GPA: 91.3%
skilled in: logic 3, handiness 3, cooking 2, comedy 2, charisma 2

Career Aptitude Test:
Science: 83%
Social Science: 75%
Engineering: 50%

Suitable Careers:
- Architect, Biochemist, Biologist, Conservation Scientist, Geologist, Marine Biologist, Anthropologist, Archaeologist, Psychologist, Engineer

Guidance Notes: Delphie has demonstrated a strong work ethic throughout her high school career that will look very appealing to many universities. Her skills set is modest, but well-rounded. Her social achievements as class president and volunteer work will make her college applications stand out. As a model student, any program would be lucky to have her. With her interest in science, she would be recommended to apply to Sierra Nova University.



Dakota Deppiesse:

total skill points: 23.92
cumulative GPA: 80.7%
skilled in: DJ 4, guitar 3, painting 3, charisma 2, video games 2

Career Aptitude Test:
Arts: 66%
Multimedia: 50%

Suitable Careers:
- photography, music, graphic design, performance arts, fashion design, film, video game design, website development

Guidance Notes: Dakota shows a wide range of creative skills with many avenues to successfully put her creativity to work. Of course music is an option if she wants to put her efforts there, but she should keep an open mind about other creative pursuits as a backup plan. Dresden Arts College would be fine, but if she wants to blend her art with technology, Sierra Nova would also be a good choice.



Austin Turner:

total skill points: 23.23
cumulative GPA: 85%
skilled in: gardening 4, fishing 2, guitar 2, handiness 2, fitness 2

Guidance Notes: Austin declined to take the career aptitude test, because he intends to inherit his family’s farm. He is not certain that college is the right choice for him, but some courses in biology or business might help him in the future.


notes: if we were to pick a Valedictorian this year, who would it be??? Dakota is highest in skill points, Delphie is highest for in-game grades (effort/attendance, I figure). Austin is not far behind in either, and might even squeak out ahead if we could somehow average the two. Good thing I don’t really do valedictorians, because I don’t think I could decide, lol!

  1. So many new kindy kids! Lily is stunning - you can see what she'll look like as an adult in that pic! And Willow must be cut to still be stuck at home while Lily is off to school.

    I love the careers counselling! I can totally see Robbie going into firefighting or something like that. Exciting to see what becomes of them all!

    I don't do valedictorians in my hood either (and if I did, I'd probably use the Australian equivalent, which is dux). But I could. My SAS system tells me every time which teen is the most accomplished. Off the top of my head, I know Ramona Nihill would have been dux for her year.

    1. That was actually Lily last year, being jealous of Willow off to school. Willow started last (story) year. No worries at all if that slipped your mind since I wrote it (OMG!!!) 4 actual years ago.

      Firefighter was my favorite idea for Robbie, too! Oh, I wish we had a career in TS4 for that. It would make an awesome active career! TS3 had one like that. It was glitchy as hell, but fun to play.

      Thanks for reading! :)

  2. That would be a hard choice for valedictorian based on their skills and grades. I don't know which one I would choose either!

    Those kids are all so adorable. And I agree with Carla, Lily is beautiful! But it made me laugh that she likes tattle-telling. :D

    1. TS4 makes some really cute toddlers and kids. On the other hand, though, sometimes they can look a little generic. But Lily does have a distinctive look. I think she takes a lot from Keri, actually. I don’t know if she took much at all from Justin. I can’t wait to see her and Willow as teenagers, but it’s so far away still!

      Thanks for reading! :)
