Starfleet Academy Entrance Exam
by Starsinger
Jim finds this exam less challenging than the Vulcan Science Academy exam he would take years later. Don't own them.
"You see before you the exam to Starfleet Academy. All of you are here because you have demonstrated the aptitude to do this, we just need this for a formality. You have six hours to finish this exam with a thirty minute break for food after three hours. You may begin now."
Jim stared at the computer screen in front of him. It was basic information such as his full name: James Tiberius Kirk. The next question, what was the date of his birth. Where he was born was a little trickier, for some reason the computer didn't recognize "shuttlecraft fleeing the USS Kelvin" as a valid birthplace. Jim shrugged, that was where he was born, he couldn't do anything about it.
Then came the nuts and bolts of the exam. He found the beginning to be easy. In fact, until he got to the language portion of the exam, it was boring. There were more than a few languages he didn't know and he felt it to be challenging. He finished the exam before the mid-break occurred. He set his head down on his desk and fell asleep.
Jim didn't realize that he'd started snoring until the exam proctor shook him awake, "Mr. Kirk! Wake up! If you don't take this test seriously, you'll never get into the Academy!"
"Oh, can I go?" Jim asked.
"Go? Why would you go?" she asked, perplexed.
Jim looked at his watch, "I finished an hour ago." The teacher had no choice but to let him go, he naturally passed with flying colors. It was yet another thing that went down into the legend that would become James T. Kirk.
