Yes, it means they had to power of a E-class regular before being in the "e-class floors". So, when they were in 2f, they weren't E-class. They had the power of one.

And I think E-class is given to people who ARRIVE at te 20th floor, not who pass the test. Many fail this test and are given the right to take it again as many as they want. Eventually, some abandon it and keep on with their lives, being content with the E class regular status and what privileges it brings them. It meas they don't have to win the test in order to be e-class.

I don't remember about the source, I'm pretty sure it was in one of the blogpost or in the statcards. The info about the 20f was both in the webcomic and the blogposts.
