<p>I think that b@r!um comparison is good.
In italy we use a decimal scale that it’s not always our friend. 10 is not considered, 9 is something like A++, 8 is A. We have another problem, oral exams and written examinations (NO multiple choice) every month. I mean in the trimester every subject must have 2 marks in the oral section and 2 in the written section, and in the semester is 3 or 4 (written) and 3 oral…As you can see it’s not an easy school system.</p>

<p>Thank you b@r!um.</p>

<p>what about Senior leaving exams section? I dont understand when we should send it. It says that we have to submit it by the deadline, but then the results are available only at the end of a senior year…</p>
