How to Access Proficiency Test
Players can check their Proficiency in their profile in the Main Menu. A new badge now sits beside players' current rank.
Once in the Profile Menu, the MD Proficiency Test button can be found besides the Data button. Look for the blue badge that looks similar to that in the profile.
Players can also access this immediately in the Duel Menu to check the current progress; look for the blue badge at the top right corner of the menu.
How to Increase Proficiency
There are two requirements in order for Duelists to increase their Proficiency Level: Academic Exams, and Practical Exams.
Only by passing both exams can players move on to the next stage.
Academic Exam
The Academic Exam tests the players' knowledge about everything in Master Duel, from the names of the cards, to certain trivia about the Solo Mode Gates, to even details about the card art of certain cards!
To pass for the next level, players must answer a certain number of questions correctly. Each question also has a timer, so players have to think fast and rely on their own knowledge to answer correctly.

The Practical Exam focuses more on the players' actual ability in a Duel--thus, players will have to participate in Duels in order to properly progress to the next level. Surrenders do not add to the current total of the requirements.
Upon completion of the requirement, the game will notify you immediately after the Duel--regardless of Duel result (unless specified).
