I came up with three things I'd have for exams. If any killing occurs the examinee will be immediately disqualified in any tests. If anything I'd have people like Tonpa working professionally during the exams, because if little tricks are able to get the person out of the Exam, they probably wouldn't make it as a Hunter anyway.

1. I'd have the examinees think of what they want to accomplish as a Hunter and then make a painting, drawing, etc of it. This could test their psyche in many different ways, but also their finesse, patience, and overall study ability, and how well they take orders. The examinees could also explain their work to the others, and the others can critique the work, either positively or negatively and the Examiners could gauge in the responses that way too as well.

2. Collecting stuff. I'd put them on an island, but instead of collecting eachother's tags, they'd have to collect piece to a puzzle, maybe each person would have to find 5 different pieces of a specific item. They can fight for pieces, as in, someone has 5, another has 4, but again, no killing. They have a time limit, maybe a week also.

3. Lastly, it's kind of boring, but I'd have them have a tournament like the one's in Dragonball. Final 16 will do this. Fight in an arena, hit off the fighting floor, they've lost etc etc. Any method of winning is exceptable, but again, no killing. The Final Four will be Hunters automatically, and will fight until there's a clear winner. This winner will be told or hinted about Nen, unless they all ready know about Nen, they'll win some other prize. Others from the Final 16 might be come Hunters if they should extraordinary methods of finishing the exams.
