Exams
At the end of the fifth year students take their OWLS (Ordinary Wizarding Levels). These are a series of exams used to determine the level at which a student is performing. Grades are as follows:
O - Outstanding
E - Exceeds Expectations
A - Acceptable

D - Dreadful
T - Troll
After another two years of education after your OWLS, the NEWTS (Nastily Exhausting Wizard Tests) are taken. These are higher qualifications which in most cases can guarantee you a job in most places (if you do well that is).
