Re: Skipping grades?
Maybe it was not fair, but maybe it was part of the test.
To earn a second kyu, you have to be able to stand up for your rights. In Aikido it might look a little bit strange, but the correct reaction, when being called for the wrong grade is: bow to jury, advance to the jury's desk, bow again. Try to say it directly, or wait until you are asked and tell them, that you actually hold a 3rd kyu and you are apllying for no 2.
Anyhow, refuse to do a 3rd kyu examination a second time. The worst they can do is not taking the test, which is even better than being told afterwards that you have failed. :S
Kind regards
