Test Scores are the system used to determine the order that orphans will be shipped out in.

Understanding and Analysis
Everyday, the orphans are required to take tests under the guise of "schooling" which will make them more academically/mentally inclined. When in fact, these tests are designed to determine their quality as livestock. These tests are given daily in order to polish the brains of the children. The shipping order of all the children is based on how high they score on the IQ test, with the lowest scoring child at each plantation being shipped out roughly once every two months.

Grace Field is regarded as the top Premium Farm with the hardest tests. The tests at Grace Field House focus on mathematics, information analysis and problem solving. Problems are distributed according to age group. The tests are also timed. Each child is only given ten seconds to answer each question. If they fail to get their answer in on time, they lose points. Taking of tests starts at four years old, those who are below four years are playing in a nearby room. All the children (except those that scored full marks) are given homework, as shown in the extra pages of Volume 3 of the manga. The highest score a child can receive on a test is 300. If a child scores lower than 120, their shipment date will be hastened.

On the test score sheets which compile the test scores of all children over the age of four at each Plant, there are seven test score columns. Going left to right, the first column is Avg.1 which is the latest average from the past 1/2 months. The second column is Avg.2 which is the average score since the child began taking tests at age four. The remaining five columns on the right show the daily test scores from the last five days. Shipping order is mostly decided from Avg.1.
