Rank-up Exams are special challenges featured in Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space that must be completed before access to a new Round is granted. Rank-up Exams are accessed by entering the corresponding Shop for either the Time Sweepers or the Tom Tom Gang. Each exam usually involves teaching about a new Time Control or Space Control, though they can also involve new gameplay elements, such as using a Combo Cartridge or climbing along ropes.

The Rank-up Exams for the Time Sweepers takes place in the lobby of the Time Factory. The floor is often frozen over or flooded to demonstrate different techniques. All Rank-up Exams that the Tom Tom Gang take part in seems rather rushed and unprofessional (yet another opposite of the Time Sweepers). It is all done on Tom Tom HQ . Examples being several cargo crates strewn around, a series of rope stands being placed about, or random Guard Sweepers being let loose on it.
