    Do you need a certain score to move up from level 4 to 5

    Does anyone know if you need to score a certain AA in level 4 before you can move up to level 5? I thought I read somewhere that you don't need the score at level 4 to move to level 5, but once you get to level 5, you do need certain skills to move up. thanks :)
