The criteria for passing is up to the Keyblade Master serving as the examiner. Apprentices of Keyblade Masters who pass the test have two choices:
The criteria for passing is up to the Keyblade Master serving as the examiner. The exam itself varies in its process, with some being simple duels, as seen with Terra and Aqua's exam, and others being entire journeys to resolve pressing issues, such as Sora and Riku's quest to awaken the Sleeping Worlds. If outside forces interfere with the exam, the examiner will determine if the applicant still meets the criteria for passing. Eraqus failed Terra for using darkness, due to his own aversion to it. Despite Sora also gaining the [[power of waking]] in the exam, Yen Sid did not pass him due to Xehanort making him lose most of his powers.


*The Keyblade Master may take on their own apprentices, and reshape their world to one more of their liking as [[Master Eraqus]] did.
Apprentices of Keyblade Masters who pass the test have a few paths open to them. Traditionally, new Keyblade Master will eventually take on their own apprentices, passing down their beliefs and shaping a new generation of Keyblade wielders. Others may become teachers. In addition, one Master is given the title of "Successor", charged with keeping watch over the sacred [[Land of Departure]].<ref>'''Xehanort's Report VIII''': "I had already shown the Mark and become a Keyblade Master—but having been passed over as Successor, all that remained to me was the road of teacher.

*The Keyblade Master may go out on their own journey as [[Master Xehanort]] chose to do. Should one choose to embark on their own journey, many different paths open up to them.

Despite the interference of Xehanort and his [[Real Organization XIII|new Organization XIII]], Yen Sid states that both Sora and Riku deserve to become Keyblade Masters, but since Riku went to the Realm of Sleep again to save Sora, who has lost most of his power because of his near possession, Yen Sid names only Riku as a Keyblade Master.
