If this is something that will be happening pretty much all of the time you may aswell do it as a single loop rather than having a number of them running for different people.

world/New()      //when the world starts start the exam() proc
   ..()
   spawn()exam()

proc/exam()
   while(1)      //we want the loop to go continuously...
      sleep(33000)
      for(var/mob/M in world)      //loop through the mobs in the world
         if(M.rank == "Academy Student")      //if their rank is "Academy Student" do the below:
            M<<"<b>Exam in 5 mins</b>"
            M.teston=1
      sleep(3000)
      for(var/mob/M in world)      // loop through again, doing the below if rank is "Academy Student"
         if(M.rank == "Academy Student")
            M<<"You may take the test now."
            M.teston=0
