Mostly A’s:
Congrats! Your best match is joining Ms. Frizzle’s class and going on field trips on her Magic School Bus! Your workload will be light (you won’t even need to harass your parents to sign any permission slips!), and you’ll have lots of fun traveling to random places on field trips every other day. Honestly, this may be the only school where licking the walls “for science” is considered active participation. You’ll probably leave each class with more questions than answers, but at least you’ll be having fun while shrinking down to the size of a blood cell or walking around an ant colony.
Mostly B’s:
Congratulations! You can prepare yourself for a letter from Hogwarts any day now! You seem relatively organized, academically capable, and just stressed enough to survive magical education. You’ll spend your nights pretending to study while actually debating Quidditch rankings in the common room, cramming for O.W.L.s at the last possible second, and risking your life walking through moving staircases after curfew. Expect your academic career to consist of surviving Snape’s classes, pretending you understand what’s happening in Transfiguration, and fighting for your life during exam season.
Mostly C’s:
You’ve been invited to join Camp Half-Blood. You already fight monsters on a daily basis; adding a few mythical creatures into the mix should be a piece of cake! Years of pulling all-nighters, surviving on questionable sleep schedules, and functioning under constant academic pressure have prepared you well for this moment. If anyone can defeat a minotaur running on two hours of sleep and a Monster, it’s definitely you.
Mostly D’s:
You’ve been invited to Jedi Academy. You’ve mastered the art of surviving Stuyvesant; now you must master the art of the force. We hope you’re up for the challenge! At this point, emotional detachment and staring blankly into space are basically Force abilities already. Your training will mostly consist of trying not to fall asleep during important meetings and resisting the temptation to join the dark side during finals week.
Mostly E’s:
You are set to attend Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. You’ve shown a desire to remain close to home and/or a desire to stay at school for as long as mutant-ly possible. Well, you’re in luck! Here, you won’t have to graduate for a very long time because graduation is less of a deadline and more of a “whenever Professor X feels like it’s emotionally safe for you” situation. Your ability to survive entirely off caffeine, vibes, and academic panic has officially evolved into a mutation. Don’t worry if your sleep schedule is incomprehensible to normal people; that just means your mutation is developing nicely. If you’re especially good at existing in chaos without fully collapsing, you might even get recruited into the X-Men and end up relocating between places like the Xavier Institute and mutant safe havens like Krakoa or Central Park, casually saving the world between classes.
While your result may not actually determine your future educational path, it may reveal concerning information about your sleeping habits, organizational skills, and dependence on caffeine. Whether you ended up at Hogwarts, Camp Half-Blood, or aboard the Magic School Bus, at least you can take comfort in knowing that everyone else is struggling too.
And if none of the results feel accurate, congratulations: you’ve officially transcended fictional education systems entirely. Please consider going to sleep before 2:00 a.m. tonight.
