Shh! There are some tests that become less effective the more people talk about them...

Maximal ability to tell levels apart is a function of level, so you can't game it much to get a better grade. You can still game it to get a worse one.

Hmm. What I had in mind was that you could look at how someone at a higher level than you tells levels apart... but your ability to do that is still constrained by your ability to distinguish levels, so I suppose the best you can do with that strategy is to luck out on the choice of person you cheat off of.
