How to unlock the Graduate achievement in Halo 3 - Definitive Guide

You will receive 1 EXP for being either:

1) On the winning side of a team match
2) In the top half of the standings for a free-for-all match

Otherwise, just finish ten matches, remember that quitting a match early will deduct EXP from your total, so if you're unevenly matched in a particular battle, stick through it.

It must be 5EXP in one playlist (lone wolves, team slayer, etc). While for the 10 matches you have to gain them in one of the three groups: ranked, social or custom. Maybe you guys got 3, 3 and 4 (10 in total, but divided), and it's not enough!

UPDATE: this is glitched for me as my xp is all messed up I thought maybe if I try to get 5xp in a different playlist or if I knockout 10 matches I would get it but I can confirm that this method doesn't work

this isn’t unobtainable, there’s communities on discord and such which can help you boost your EXP for the achievement

This is a glitched achievement. I have every achievement except this one. I’ve met the requirements On all of the playlists. I ended up submitting requests including screenshots to Microsoft. Their response was they can not help, they do “not have a workaround” and only look at requests which have numerous help requests on.

It seems like a lot of people are having a problem obtaining this achievement. I done a bit of scouting online and found some useful info.

You have to get 5xp from one playlist!

I personally achieved this by gaining 5xp on Squad Battle. Your have to be on the winning side 5 times and you should your achievement!!

Ahhh, that might be why it didn't pop? I was to EXP5 in team slayer but I had gotten 2 pts a couple times. I am also at 10 total Ranked and 10 total Social, but maybe for 3 different play lists. this would all make sense.

Didn't work for me. I have at least 5 xp in all playlists but one.

I was struggling with getting this one to pop also so I just started playing social slayer until I was on the winning side 5 times and it eventually popped even though I had played more than 10 games total, and had more than 5 EXP. I also already had the graduate pin (saying I had graduated basic training) - some posts online suggest this is when you should get the achievement but I don't think it is.

I would recommend anyone going for this just picks one playlist and stays with it.

Keep in mind that quitting early will deduct experience. Simply complete 10 matches or try to get the experience. You get experience from winning games. You can play either team based games or solo based games. Since you are probably new to the halo community if you have no experience, team games will probably be easier since your team may carry you to victory.

You will only receive 1 point of EXP if you are on the winning side or a team multiplayer match or on the top half of the free for all match.

I recommend dong this in Free-for-all. I like to work by myself. Play well and make sure that you're on the top half of the leaderboard.

OR

You can play with a good team and they'll carry you through 5 matches.

You get 1 EXP point if your team wins in a team game (or if your team is in the top 2 teams in a multi-team game) and you get 1 EXP point if you are in the top half of a FFA match (5 players, top 3 get a point). You can earn points in both Ranked and Social matches. You will lose EXP if you quit out of a team match, so avoid that.

For this achievement, simply get 5 EXP or finish 10 games. You can lose all 10 and still get this achievement.
