Here are a few more questions? Are we not assigned our glory UNTIL the final judgement? If it happens after the millenium than why are we resurrected before hand and pre-judged? Than perhaps what is happening is one is laying down their ressurection in hopes of a better ressurection? Again before the final judgment occurs. When does the final judgment really happen? How does one go from exaltation to exaltation if we receive it from "our endowment" which tells us how to be exalted? How are peoples rewards different? Is that another name for an exaltation? Receiving a greater exaltation? Why did Joseph state in TPJS that (Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 348). "Sons of God who exalt themselves to be Gods, even from before the foundation of the world"?
To tell you my opinion on that I say yes. That is one of the purposes of the millennium. This is not to say there are infinite tries to get it right. But when one has not broken their coventants (like an unpardonable sin) they will be given circumstances to improve until they finally decide to fully become "telestial" or become like God or say I have had enough I am happy were I am at. When one commits or breaks a certain covenant it may prevent them from achieving thee HIGHEST reward but God will allow us to always achieve our divine potential IF we will allow him to and not assent to His death becoming a perdition. But if we have not entered into a covenant yet we cannot really break that covenant therefor not be held accountable for it unless we were called upon to live it and rejected it. Think of the 5 covenants of the temple. Are we really called upon to live them all as 2nd estate beings? No. Only partially. Thus little is given little is required. I mean when I say that how many will be called as martyrs to give ones life versus someone who is allowed to live and continue on with the trials at hand without the sacrifice of ones life? The trials are different but we will all in some way or form be asked to live each one and prove we can or learn how to THAN show we can.
