Episode Title:
Marks for Effort.
Episode Description:
Bored with their ordinary classes, the Cutie Mark Crusaders attempt to enroll at the more exciting School of Friendship, but Twilight turns them away, saying they have already mastered the curriculum. The Crusaders later meet a young student from the school named Cozy Glow, who is struggling with her homework, and figure that helping her would be just as good as attending Twilight's school. Cozy Glow aces her assignment under their tutelage, and asks them to help her prepare for an upcoming test. When Cozy Glow fails the test and explains the Crusaders' involvement, however, Twilight believes the Crusaders intentionally gave her poor guidance and bans them from the school grounds. Later, Cozy Glow confesses that she failed her test on purpose to make Twilight consider accepting the Crusaders as students like they wanted. After Cozy Glow apologizes to the Crusaders, Twilight, in an act of penance for her poor judgement, allows them back in the school and gives them honorary diplomas, granting them positions at the school as official friendship tutors.
