After demonstrating adequate knowledge of the Sith Apprentice Curriculum,  the Sith Apprentice will be taken to a suitable place to duel in a series of 3 duels. A Darth hosting these duels should not just focus on if the apprentice wins. They should focus on the overall technical skill of the apprentice. While doing bad in this section does not equal a fail automatically, it may be combined with a bad assessment performance to give a failing assessment to the Sith Apprentice. 

After demonstrating adequate knowledge of the Sith Sorcerer Curriculum, the Sith Sorcerer must face two duels against the Darth hosting the assessment. During these duels, the Sith Sorcerer is not able to use their lightsaber in any way. The goal is to survive as long as possible while the Darth unleashes all of their abilities on the Sorcerer. If the Darth kills the Sith Sorcerer, they should record how long the Sorcerer survived for. If the Sorcerer kills the Darth, it should also be noted and consider the duel an automatic success. The longer that someone can survive with just the use of the force, the more likely they are to succeed. A Darth should consider the Sorcerer’s success in the question portion of the exam as well as this portion to see if they are ready to seek Dark Council approvals for Sith Lord. 

After demonstrating adequate knowledge of the Sith Marauder Curriculum, the Sith Marauder must face 5 duels against the Darth hosting the assessment. The Sith Marauder can use both the force and their lightsaber. They must win at least 3 of these duels to prove their skill in mixed combat. A Darth should consider the Marauder’s success in the question portion of the exam as well as this portion to see if they are ready to seek Dark Council approvals for Sith Lord. A perfect or close to perfect performance in the questions portion of the assessment can excuse a member winning only 2 duels. 

After demonstrating adequate knowledge of the Sith Juggernaut Curriculum, the Sith Juggernaut must face 8 duels against the Darth hosting the assessment. The Sith Juggernaut can only use their lightsaber during these duels. They must win at least 5 of these duels to prove their skill in mixed combat. A Darth should consider the Juggernaut’s success in the question portion of the exam as well as this portion to see if they are ready to seek Dark Council approvals for Sith Lord. A perfect or close to perfect performance in the questions portion of the assessment can excuse a member winning only 4 duels.
