Luckily I have two graduations behind me and another year 'til I have to write 5 more exams to attain the highest graduation possible and being allowed to study at a university.

:O dude, you be in high school?!! damn lucky :/

Can't really call it high school nor college. School sytem's just different over here in Germany. I'm still in secondary education in 12th grade. If you got a lot of time. Currently trying to get my Abitur.

huh so basically you'd be about 2nd or 1st year of science in my school system, final 2 years before we are kicked out and sent away to college/uni hunting :0

2nd or 1st year? Just out of interest, by any chance, does your system count backwards?

Nah it's just that my system is by years and we have 3 exams in a year so if you are in 5 exams you'd be in 1st year of Science but if you're a year away from uni/college then you'd be in 2nd year of science :0 it's not equivalent but basically you're in the final stages of my systems highschool or secondary as we call it here

Well, it's just the standard exams. German, economy (because that's the major of my school), my picks English and chemistry and eventually a vocal maths exam if I shouldn't score high enough to attain my Abi.
