"School Success" by benchen71
Welcome to...
benchen71's Metas on a Tuesday (MOAT)
Can you storm the castle by getting across the MOAT? Doing well in school is hard work. I should know: I'm a teacher! OK, so it's also hard for students, too, at least the ones who want to do well. What does success in school look like? Give this puzzle a shot, and you just might find out. The answer to the meta is something that top students earn.
The easiest way to submit is on Crosshare (and you get instant feedback and unlimited attempts!) But you can also PM me with your submission. Either way, I'll compile a list of those who successfully solve the meta.
School Success - Online Form
School Success - PUZ
School Success - PDF
School Success - spreadsheet
Nudges are here.
The solution is here.

Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Yeah what a worthy puzzle!
So I just plain couldn't get my meta based on "Up the Down Staircase" to work.
My challenge it to constructors is to make a meta where the meta, theme or metanism is "Up the Down Staircase".

Crept across the moat at dead of night while the guards were sleeping. Passed the test!

Count me among those who didn't cross the moat till after checking Aussie variants and then seeing the error of our ways.
