Everyone who has graduated and gotten their degrees it’s when the writer says character X has graduated. Beast is an example.
But a super mind like Jean doesn’t need degrees, it would really be Judy paperwork to her.
She in an instant absorbed Beast’s medical knowledge and we saw her mind link with T’Chalka to psychically remove nanotech from Storm’s brain.
We can't see every moment of these characters lives. I don't really need to see Jean in a cap and gown walking across the stage to receive her diploma. If a writer says she completed her degree, then that's all I really need. But that's just me.
Does magneto have a finer grasp over his power compared to Jean’s TK?
I know we don’t have many( or any) examples of magneto and jean going head to head throwing objects at one anotjer. But I wonder- is Jean’s control of tk great enough to challenge magneto?
Say magneto was going to throw hundreds of pieces of sharp shrapnel at her. Is her tk skill refined enough to completely stop every piece? To throw them back at him, overpowering him?
I feel like various depictions of magneto have him use his powers in a much finer matter- picking up and separating metal and using them in an offensive manner- whereas Jean’s TK is often portrayed with her Lifting heavy objects but not necessarily tons of little pieces.
Keep in mind this isn’t to say jean is weaker. But is her control less fine than magneto’s?

Your favorite superhero- the one you visit these forums to talk about. Would they talk to others the way you do on this message board?
Id like to think Jean does but most writers dont seem to portray her as an expert with her TK despite having some incredible feats. Magneto's tend to be far more consistent than her. I think the best example for what you mention can actually be seen in Morrison's run as well as most recently X-men Red. The TK surgery of the nannites in Storm's brain is probably far more delicated and impressive than what Ive seen Magneto do but it was a contained non-combative situation. In an actual battle, I think he'd probably have the edge.

I’m thinking Hickmans jean is Phoenix
I wouldn't be so sure, even with the prominence the X-men are currently receiving, it's fair to say at this point Marvel thinks of the Phoenix as a separate character from Jean. But more specifically, they don't have a singular problem attaching the PF to any character the favor at the moment. I hope so, because unlike so many prominent characters with iconic visuals, writers and editors don't really value Jean's contributions to the mythos. Besides I wouldn't be surprised that Hickman's long-term plan involves Quire becoming the Phoenix, it's definitely the direction some writers have been moving in this last decade.
