Click through to see the 5 plot elements of Graduation Day
Graduation Day begins with Cia back at the University after discovering that Symon's group of rebels are actually not rebelling against the Testing but are actually for the Testing. With a war between the real rebels and the government about to begin soon, Cia knows she must do something. When President Collindear gives Cia the assignment to kill Dr. Barnes and some of the other Testing leaders, Cia is confused and frightened, but she knows she must complete the task to save the lives of many.
Cia decides that she will seek help from Tomas, Raffe, Stacia, and her brother Zeen, although he will have to stay under cover in the rebel camp. Cia and Tomas have to carry out the plan earlier than expected when suspicion begins to fall on Cia. They hide out in an abandoned house until the rest of the group can join them.
The president is forced to remove the Testing after Dr. Barnes reveals the truth to Cia. He was killed in the crossfire. Cia and Tomas return home where they try to heal. But Cia realizes that there is still much change to be made, and she heads back to Tosu City with Tomas.
