I imagine they would place you at most as a star colonel

Natasha is first seen as a Star Captain in 3000. It is not mention if she gained that rank in her first trail. I would wager she obtained at least 2 kills in her 1st trail. When she returned to the clans, after almost 50 years of fighting in the Inner Sphere, she killed 4 Mechs in her second trail that the Clanners forced her to take to prove her skills as a warrior.
Yes, a cadet can fire on another cadet to gain a kill. but, only if a grand melee is opened.

It was explained that several of the cadets were doing their trails at the same time. Each cadet had their own set of opponents. Each set were spread out in a line. Aiden could see the whole battlefield. Ussually a cadet engaged one at a time. Aiden decide to not to follow normal tactics and to use a tactic that would throw the instructor off track. He rushed forward and engaged his first 2 opponents at the same time. He then turned and engaged a third, I think it was Marthe's second opponent. Thus opening a Grand Melee for everyone on the battlefield. Aiden was about to down his first oponent when Marthe, who had just downed her first oponent, shot him in the back.

"I am not interested in what fictions your personal apologist might have concocted, Natasha." Carson pointed to the Loremaster. "Ask him. He has the rolls of the Wolf Clan Warriors there. The last time you were tested was in 3003. Though it confirmed your qualification for a Galaxy command, your Galaxy never saw combat. That you commanded a Triple or even a Cluster during your time in the Inner Sphere has no bearing here because it was never officially sanctioned by your superiors. You have no standing as a MechWarrior" -Battletech Blood Legacy

It's not written what would happen because it won't happen, Kai Allard-Liao got 5 kills in his trial which was such massive BS as it was.
As you progress the targets become heavier and heavier mechies. By the time you fight through a medium than a heavy than an assault than another assault your not going to have much mech left if you somehow manage to make it even that far.

The short answer is no.
The long answer is:
Nobody became Khan from their ToP. Khans are elected by the Clan Council which are made up of Bloodnamed warriors. The highest you can go without a Bloodname is Galaxy Commander & that is RARE.
To get more than three kills in your ToP to begin with, you have to initiate a free for all and/or have an agreement with the other cadet.

Tweaked.
Additionally, for the folks saying that your Mech opponents start one size and progressively get heavier as you go....that's not technically correct. Your opponents on the field are yours to defeat, how you choose or what order you choose to engage them is not necessarily pre-determined.
Alot of online gaming Clans have instituted that format, but it's not from the original lore (I believe). I might be mistaken, but I'm rereading all of the books atm and have yet to run into that type of specified format.

From his high vantage point, Aidan saw activity beyond a clump of trees. Apparently Marthe had discovered it, too, for her 'Mech started moving quickly toward it, feet crushing greenery into flat, scarred swaths. Switching from grid picture to natural picture, Aidan saw a trio of 'Mechs, Marthe's three test opponents, emerge from cover behind a thick clump of trees. At the same time, Bret's opposing 'Mechs seemed to come out of the ground, though actually they were cresting a hill to Bret's left. And further away than this six, the three that Aidan knew were destined to be his adversaries burst out of a camouflage cover that had looked like a group of high rocks, but that his computer's secondary monitor analyzed structurally as merely a construction. One of them, a Hellbringer, lifted its left arm and pointed it straight at Aidan, a gesture indicating that this was Aidan's first opponent.

Actually no, there are a few cases of Galaxy Commanders that do not have a Bloodname.

But specific to tonnage, you're probably more right in this instance.
