Question: A question about the Harry Potter series
In the Harry Potter series, fifth years have OWLs and sixth years have NEWTs!.!.!. what do first, second, third, fourth and seventh years have!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Ordinary Wizarding Levels (OWLs) are for fifth years, Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests (NEWTs) are for SEVENTH years, not 6th!. Every other year (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th) have regular end of year exams!. OWLs determine what NEWT level classes you can take in 6th and 7th year for the particular career you are pursuing!. (In OOTP the 5th years have career advice counseling with their Head of House)

NEWTs determine if you can apply for the job you want!. (In OOTP the trio were flipping through pamphlets for jobs such as Healer, curse-breaker, etc!., and each one said how many and what kind of NEWTs you needed!.) Www@QuestionHome@Com

NEWTS are seventh year!. The first, second, third, fourth, and sixth years all have regular end-of-year exams!.

The NEWTS and OWLS actually pose a problem in Chamber of Secrets because Dumbledore cancels all exams, but what about the fifth and seventh years!? They rather need their OWL and NEWT scores to look into jobs!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well if you've read the books it says that they take end-of-year-exams during the students 1st 2nd 3rd 4th and 6th years!. The 5th years take O!.W!.L!.S (ordinary wizarding levels) and depending on their scores with those tests, they will move on to study the tougher not required aspects of their better subjects!. They study those subjects for 2 years and then at the end of their seventh and final year they take N!.E!.W!.T!.S (Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests) to test their overall learning experience!. Hope this helped! (^-^) Www@QuestionHome@Com

They don't take a test, the OWLs and the NEWTs test you on what you've learned during your years at Hogwarts!.

All these HP questions are making me want to read the series again!. lol!. i forgot how much stuff actually happen in these books!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I forget what 7th years have, I'm pretty sure it mentions it once or twice but 1-5 don't have anything, just your basic end of the year exams, finals you could say!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They still have end of term examinations, if you've read the books they always get canceled!.!.!.one year they actually do take them though!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They just have end of the year exams!. Owls and Newts are more like the ACT's!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

They don't have any!. They just take regular exams at the end of the year!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

OWLs and NEWTs are the ficitonal equivalent of O-levels and A-levels that British schools have!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I was under the impression that 5th years had OWLs and 7th years had NEWTs!.!.!.!.I could be wrong!.
