I'd almost be inclined to say that a timeskip is seeming more necessary if the OP's team wasn't one of those that had made negligible progress.
Either we do that, or continue to sit in limbo in which teams who have finished are left with nothing to do and teams who haven't are forced to slowly chug through the exam because of a consistent string of drop outs.

Having a character that doesn't follow the at-least-willing-to-try dynamic would be like trying to make a TTGL character in a Black Butler RP.
Laura was completely willing to work with Trico. Willing to admit she might be wrong, no, but she was more than okay with tolerating Trico's presence enough for them to accomplish their mission. Something Trico refused to do.
