The initiation and the entrance exam are the SAME THING! I don't know why, but a lot of people get confused by that. Personally, I think these guys are overthinking it. RWBY is meant to be watched and enjoyed, not picked apart so you can see every detail. They're basically adding logic to a world that has a logic all it's own. Stop over thinking it and just watch the show!
