Birds of Malta Quiz II (1 Viewer)

[gropperwinch]

Yes but the maltese scholastic system is different than yours. We have 6 years primary shool and i started exams in the 3rd year where we have the 'half-yearly' exams in february and 'annual' exams in june. At the end of year six we do junior lyceum exams, for entry into the goverment secondary school, and the 'common entrance' exam for entering a secondary church school. I came 19th from all of malta () in the common entrance of my year and I chose to g to a church school. In secondary we have 5 years, in each year we have the half-yearly and annual exams. At the end of the 5yrs we do thr so colled 'O-levels' for entering a sixth form. Sixth form lasts 2 yrs and at the end of the second year you do the 'A-levels'. Complicated huh? I am currently doing the annual exams in the 3rd year of secondary school.

sounds very complicated indeed! although all I'm aware of with how our school works is that I'm currently doing a GCSE, and that in a certain amount of years I will sit A-levels. I don't even know when half my GCSE courses will be finished!

oh, and well done clever clogs!!!:t::t:
