Hi sz, 1 more diploma for me!!!! I think Doggyfan should be at 22. It says 19 plus 3. I hope you don't mind me checking.

JuniperBerry that is a great count!!!!! I know just how you feel with fashion class. I made the mistake of leaving that for last with most of the pets. I hate it....LOL. If it's only a few pets it's ok, but I have at least 15 out of 20 with that class.

I really didn't mind the s-l--o-o-o-o-w pace of the Fashion Class, here's why. I made it a game to see how fast I could click on the right clothes.

My best time on level 10 was getting all 6 right with 29 seconds left on the clock. This class is by far the easiest of the six basic courses -- it's the only one that I never failed. Well, the "no model" glitch lost it for me many times, of course. Hated it when that happened.

Personally, I thought the worst was agility (hurdles). Ugh, level 9 is so darn hard!! The first 4 times I got to that level, I stopped doing the class with the others, until that student finished the whole course.

That's a good idea Bert. I am going try that tomorrow night the 29 seconds. I have a few in the 10th right now. So far I can only do the agility from 1 to 7th levels and the 10th. I use the tutor on the 8 and 9th. I tried them but I do need alot of practice. I remember too when the glitch was on the fashion in the tenth level. It was horrible. I'm so glad they fixed it. Took me forever to pass that class. I would fail every other night. The intelligence is a little tricky too. Sometimes it's so easy and others it's not.

Also congrats on all your diplomas!!!! We have to pass the word about this thread somehow. I like to hear all the stories.

One of these days I'll get them through, it's just, ugh, Fashion.

Wow!! Congrats on your Webbies graduating
I'll add you to the list.

Wow!! What a great thread that I've stumbled across. Congrats to everyone who's earned a diploma!!

I just can't believe how many diplomas everyone has. I am still working on my first with my "main" webbie only having finished 3 classes. I was so excited to receive my latest prizes that I decided to finish classes using other webbies and so now two other students are starting to attend more frequently.

I have 5 full gardens, but maybe I need to start another one so I can put a 4th student through clases. lol

This thread is going to motivate me to finally earn my diploma. Wish me luck.

Hello all and congrats to all of you with graduates and diplomas !! When I first saw the subject line for this thread, I expected some people would post they have 1 or 2, maybe even 3 or 4 diplomas but the numbers are staggering !! I am in awe.

I have one pet who is one class away from her first diploma ~~ hurdles ~~ ugh !! I cannot get past level 4 !! Seriously !! I practice and practice with numerous pets but to no avail. I'm thinking of using the tutor from Level 4 to 9 and then just winging it on Level 10 and practice even harder to master the rhythm of when to make my pet jump. Would those of you who have graduated from agility recommend this or is it better to do it level by level and work myself up to Level 10 ??

And while I'm asking the experts for advice , when some of you say it's easier after the fourth pet to get a diploma, do you mean 4 pets have to each get their full diploma before the number of classes required to graduate decreases for the 5th, 6th, etc. pets ??

Thanks in advance for your insight and advice.

My short "passed the grade and completed a whole class" count ~

Account #1 ~ Love Puppy ~ All classes except for agility but including griddle and hairdressing.

Account #2 ~ Yellow Lab ~ Has completed strength, creativity and intelligence. Currently working on the remaining three classes and is at the halfway mark.

For agility class the 4th level I just start off fast and stay that way till the end. I don't slow up inbetween. The 10th level with my first pet I failed 13 times and then one day I finally passed and have ever since. Right now I can go from 1st to 7th level, tutor for 8th & 9th and then the 10th.

I have a little tip for all. Large pets have to jump the high hurdles close and little kinz have to jump further back. If they are too close they hit.

Ok if you pass 4 classes for each class then it gets much easier. What I did was have some pets do certain classes and others do the rest. You don't have to have 4 with diplomas.

I hope this helps. One thing I can say is that I am an expert by now. I currently have 19 pets enrolled at the academy. At one time I had 29....... Took me 2 hours to complete. Some are my grandchildren's accounts.

Welcome MysticZon! Good Luck to you and your webbie.

Wow!!! I have 0 diplomas, and it will probably be that way for the next 2 years! I currently have 4 pets enrolled, one since 1/24/08! (And my highest is lv. 7 on painting) And I'm stuck on lv. 5 (Or is it 6?!? I get so confused when the report card ways one thing and the class another...) Agility. I love that class though! Perhaps by the year 2015....
