I got S rank in Happy Home Academy?!?

[fallenchaoskitten]

I also have a Bunny Day room and coincidentally got like 60k and an S rank. I only got a bronze HHA plaque, though, so maybe there are ranks above S rank where you can unlock silver and gold?

Silver is given at 30k pts... so idk if tomorrow you'll get a letter with the silver or not?
I'm hoping the other pt rewards just get mailed to me next day since mine did a huge jump...

I got an S rank with a room full of tarantulas lol

Take it you are saving them for Flick?

I'm the same as well debating selling all my bugs and put in 1 millions worth in the stalk market or wait for flick instead. Currently put in near 500K for turnips.

SAME, I'm wondering how the HHA works in this game

 

[th8827]

I got an S Rank with 111,239 points using a Wood Series Room and a Bunny Room in my 6 room house. The rest of the place is a mess.

I got the Silver Plaque this week. It think that you get the prizes sequentially 1 per week until you get the max rank prize.

I'm actually pretty confused about the new letter system in HHA ranking. What do they stand for? I assumed A would be better than S, but there's a nook mile ticket achievement for S rank, so I'm confused about what they mean/the hierarchy.

Whenever it's used in rankings, S is higher than A.

 

[Dewy]

"S" is used as a ranking above A in Japanese games (Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons does the same thing, for example). It stands for something along the lines of "special," or "super," although there is no official meaning

I think it must factor in number of rooms and quantity of furniture, cos every time I've added a room I've gained significantly. Got an S rank, and got a bronze for having over 20,000 (had over 117000), then today I got silver for having over 30,000 (again, had like 154000 or something), so I assume next week I'll get gold.

Whenever it's used in rankings, S is higher than A.

Thanks!

My little brother filled up his house with nothing but fire and got S rank. I on the other hand have a completely decorated house and only get Bs.

Guess my house isn't 'lit' enough

i got 60k my first time, and yesterday i just shoved green/red/yellow feng shui and bunny day stuff everywhere and got 90k points this morning

 

[Aleigh]

I jumped from like 17k to 65k, but I think it's because my house is fully upgraded and I've put a lot of shell furniture and bunny day furniture in two of my rooms. Other than that, my house is so bad haha I upgraded faster than I could get furniture

 

[DaviddivaD]

I only have upgraded my house once to where I owe Nook 198,000 bells and still got S Rank with 38,000 something points. I have both the bronze and silver plaques because I TTed a day at a time to move in all 10 of my dreamies. Was too impatient to wait 20-30 whole days to move everyone in.

I think furniture sets generally garner more points.
Also the more furniture that placed in the rooms seems to do the trick too.

S rank comes from the Japanese academic grading system. See below:

rade in Japanese (Kanji)	English translation	Corresponding percentage
shū (秀)	Exemplary, excellent	S (90–100%), rarely given
yū (優)	Very good	A (80–89%)
ryō (良)	Good	B (70–79%)
ka (可)	Average, pass	C (60–69%)
nin (認)[a]	Approved, acceptable	D/F (50–59%), not common
fuka (不可)	Unacceptable, failed	F (0–59% or 0–49%)

I got an S with 55k points despite that my current furnishing setup can be described as "stuff every room with items vaguely related to that room's desired theme (bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, living room, or office)"
