As a story, I see more flaws. The characters feel generic and boring, and the narrative never made me truly care about them. The writing is sometimes a little too stiff and formulaic, especially in how it describes conversations (see also http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SaidBookism). There's also a bunch of typos, spelling mistakes and similar minor errors that screw up the immersion. Still, the plot was interesting enough to follow all possible paths (I think - it's impossible to get a perfect score on the advanced test, isn't it?), so it's not bad - it just could be better in a lot of ways.
I like how missing the review session turns the test into the advanced test.
