I have the full reduction for Creativity and it is very pleasing how quickly pets advance.
Wallace's count is 9 Intelligence
Eustace is having fits with Speed on my new computer his count is now. 6 Style 7 Speed.

Just curious....How many pets completing a course gives a "full reduction" and how many is that? I have completed only cooking and have so long to go with everyone else.....

You will need to pass 4 pets through any one subject to attain the "full" reduction. It means the number of classes for any consecutive pet is reduced, therefore they don't have as many to complete before they finish it as well.

Here's the breakdown on class reductions:

The reduction gets applied based on the level your pet is currently on.

When the very first pet graduates Level 10 of any class, the amount of classes reduced is equal to the current level:

Level 1: 5 - (1) class = 4
Level 2: 10 - (2) classes = 8
Level 3: 15 - (3) classes = 12
Level 4: 20 - (4) classes = 16
Level 5: 25 - (5) classes = 20
Level 6: 30 - (6) classes = 24
Level 7: 35 - (7) classes = 28
Level 8: 40 - ( 8 ) classes = 32
Level 9: 45 - (9) classes = 36
Level 10: 50 - (10) classes = 40

The 2nd pet that graduates reduces the classes even further, based on how many classes were reduced to by the first pet passing:

Level 1: 4 - (1) class = 3
Level 2: 8 - (2) classes = 6
Level 3: 12 - (3) classes = 9
Level 4: 16 - (4) classes = 12
Level 5: 20 - (5) classes = 15
Level 6: 24 - (6) classes = 18
Level 7: 28 - (7) classes = 21
Level 8: 32 - ( 8 ) classes = 24
Level 9: 36 - (9) classes = 27
Level 10: 40 - (10) classes = 30

Once your 3rd pet graduates, this number is reduced further (again, it's based on what level it is and how many classes it was already reduced to):

Level 1: 3 - (1) class = 2
Level 2: 6 - (2) classes = 4
Level 3: 9 - (3) classes = 6
Level 4: 12 - (4) classes = 8
Level 5: 15 - (5) classes = 10
Level 6: 18 - (6) classes = 12
Level 7: 21 - (7) classes = 14
Level 8: 24 - ( 8 ) classes = 16
Level 9: 27 - (9) classes = 18
Level 10: 30 - (10) classes = 20

And finally, when your 4th pet graduates that class, the maximum reduction is applied (the number of classes per level will simply be whatever level it is):

Level 1: 2 - (1) class = 1
Level 2: 4 - (2) classes = 2
Level 3: 6 - (3) classes = 3
Level 4: 8 - (4) classes = 4
Level 5: 10 - (5) classes = 5
Level 6: 12 - (6) classes = 6
Level 7: 14 - (7) classes = 7
Level 8: 16 - ( 8 ) classes = 8
Level 9: 18 - (9) classes = 9
Level 10: 20 - (10) classes = 10

Not bad considering Level 10 used to be 50 classes... almost 2 months, down to just over a week.

Do pets taking classes after the first pet also win prizes or does just the first one get the prize?

[iamnotanumber]

Wallace in 3 Intelligence.
Eustace finished Style just 4 more Speed.

[iamnotanumber]

Two to go for Wallce
Three to go for Eustace

[iamnotanumber]

Zero! Blastoff
Wallace the Lil Black Bear and Eustace the Reindeer joined the hallowed ranks of the Graduated.

I now have a while before more pets graduate because Henrietta the pink pig suffered through both Cooking and Hairdressing so she is a little ways back but the class reductions sure move things along.

Congratulations, Iamnotanumber and Wallace with Eustace :rdr: for finally sticking it out and succeeding at attaining that elusive diploma!

Save a spot in the Graduation ceremony for me as well, because this morning I also added yet another pet to the ranks of the KA alumni grads with my black cat Jinx!

Here he is posing in front of his addition to my Education Walk of Fame Gallery!

Great going! I love the place setting in your picture. Do you mind sharing where than is from? Thanks! I recently starting lurking through the Academy posts, but I'm a way off from a diploma.

Thans Happy,
That is I believe the Chic City room theme. In the room theme list it is on the last page and the symbol is a round greenish yellow disk.
That wall was the first I could find that had room for diplomas.
Stay with the KA it seems a long haul but many of us are getting Diplomas now.
