'''''SKILL ANALYZER''''' is a series of courses ranked so that each course is harder than the last. These courses were first introduced in [[AC SDVX II|SOUND VOLTEX II -infinite infection-]] on July 3rd, 2013. The difficulty level of the highest SKILL LEVEL course cleared is often used as an indicator of the overall strength of the player.

At the beginning, only eight SKILL LEVEL courses are available from the get-go, but were later increased to ten on the third set of courses, and later to twelve courses, each with a certain difficulty level.

When playing a SKILL ANALYZER course, a special gauge, PERMISSIVE RATE, is filled to full at the start and can be recovered with CRITICALs. Whenever the gauge reaches 0 while playing, the track CRASHes and the course fails. Neither MIRROR nor RANDOM are allowed to be used, and S-CRITICAL option is unavailable. Online matching is available when played on Skill Level. 08 or higher, though the player cannot be SAVED in the event of a TRACK CRASH.

Each course has three songs, but unlike [[Beatmania IIDX Dan Courses|beatmania IIDX's CLASS]] mode, each rank has multiple courses to choose from. Level 11 and ∞ can only be accessed by obtaining a shining gold frame from the lower ranks below with all of the charts from the relevant course unlocked prior. These frames can be obtained by earning a clear rate of 130% (first nine levels), 150% (SKILL LEVEL 10), 160% (SKILL LEVEL 11) and 170% (SKILL LEVEL ∞). The maximum goes up to 200%, with the percentage dependent on the combined total scores rounded down all the way until 100%, whereas the percentage is dependent on how far the player reached the course before a TRACK CRASH. The calculation of the rate were as follows (all rounded down to the next integer):

These frames can be obtained by earning a clear rate of 130% (first nine Skill Levels), 150% (Skill Level.10), 160% (Skill Level.11), and 170% (Skill Level.∞).

The calculation of the rate were as follows (all rounded down to the next integer):
* Cleared course: 100% + (Average score of all three songs - 9,000,000) / 10,000
* Cleared course: 100% + (Average score of all three songs - 9,000,000) / 10,000
* Failed course: (number of songs cleared + the chart measure and note number where Track CRASH was triggered) * 33.3%
* Failed course: (number of songs cleared + the chart measure and note number where Track CRASH was triggered) * 33.3%


Courses are added periodically, usually from SKILL ANALYZER, although other courses not relevant to SKILL ANALYZER are occasionally added. For a list of these courses, please see [[SKILL ANALYZER/Miscellaneous courses|this article]].

In infinite infection, the songs from the courses were decided by voting done via the website, and the most voted songs ending up in the successive SKILL ANALYZER course. However, once a song has appeared twice, it was removed from the list on the next voting. For a list of songs that appeared in the polls, see [https://bemaniwiki.com/index.php?SOUND%20VOLTEX%20II%20-infinite%20infection-/SKILL%20ANALYZER/%B2%DD%C2%EA%B6%CA%B8%F5%CA%E4%A5%EA%A5%B9%A5%C8 here].
Starting [[AC SDVX III|GRAVITY WARS]], players can no longer vote for songs, instead players can choose from one of three courses in each level. Note that there are no audio previews for the final song until they were added in [[AC SDVX IV|HEAVENLY HAVEN]].
In HEAVENLY HAVEN, SKILL ANALYZER courses were merged into the main game mode, and it could be accessed as a song folder during the first stage. This change was reverted in [[AC SDVX VW|VIVID WAVE]].

* Unlike [[jubeat Information|jubeat]]'s COURSE/TUNE RUN, [[REFLEC BEAT Information|REFLEC BEAT]]'s [[REFLEC BEAT CLASS CHECK Courses|CLASS CHECK]] and the beatmania IIDX's [[beatmania IIDX Dan Courses|Dan/Class]] courses, courses which contained a song that have been removed from the game are removed from the list of courses altogether, instead of substituting a song for the course. The first course to do so was Level.06 烈風's [[AC SDVX III|GRAVITY WARS]] Course 6B due to the removal of [[Cyber thunder cider|サイバーサンダーサイダー]] on June 1st, 2016. On March 29th, 2017, [[AC SDVX IV|HEAVENLY HAVEN]] removed two more courses, which were Level.03 月衝's Course 1C and Level.09 魔騎士's Course 1A, as these courses contained removed songs [[Susume! Issun gundan -Rebellion of the Dwarfs-|進め!イッスン軍団 -Rebellion of the Dwarfs-]] and [[Brain Power]], respectively.
