When a Young Adult takes an aptitude test prior to enrolling in University, there are several factors that are taken into effect for each of the majors. Fresh out of CAS - I took a Sim and had them take 1 class in town before doing the aptitude test and it got them enough points to get a scholarship. Then they were able to take a second class for that skill in Univille!I managed to take 6 fresh out of CAS sims with appropriate traits above. Sent them all to get 1 point in each skill as mentioned above and all 6 of them managed to 18 credits towards their degree and two of them did well enough to get scholarships too. I had them do traits only for their degrees but since some traits like Genius cover multiple it got them the points they needed for the scholarship.

Good to know! I was sending them as soon as the mascot dropped off the Welcome Kit, so they had no skills at all. The traits alone (without traits like Genius or Ambitious that cover multiple degrees) were getting my Sims high enough score to get 6 credits, but not high enough for any scholarships. It looks like that might only be the case for Sims with multiple traits that contribute to a degree, though.For instance: Avant Garde, Artistic, Rebellious, Green Thumb, Schmoozer Sim fresh out of CAS got 6 credits in Fine Arts, but none in other degrees.

Green Thumb is a Science trait and Schmoozer is a Communications trait, and though his scores were slightly higher in those subjects, he didn't have a high enough score to get credits. Avant Garde, Artistic, and Rebellious are all Fine Arts traits. I wonder if two degree-specific traits would be enough to trigger credits without skills or if it requires three? Some people are definitely experiencing bugs. I'm unable to go below a base score of 100 on any test, so that is the base when everything is working correctly.Score modifiers:27 points per skill level39 points per career level83 points per traitOn a fresh Sim, you get predictable scores using these numbers. Genius will give +83 points to all your scores, giving you a base of +183 or 1098 total points.250 points for +6 credits toward a degree350 points for +18 credits toward a degreeaverage score of 1200 for a $1000/term scholarshipaverage score of 1800 for a $2500/term scholarshipTaking the aptitude test after already finishing a term at the University gives buggy results. Also, the credits earned from the aptitude test did not go toward my Sim's degree.

The Sim had 36/48 credits and got +18 for a tech scholarship. It's unclear if this busted the limit and caused it to bug, not giving the credits - or, you MUST take the aptitude test before enrolling or it does not count.
