    Oh yeah... Forgot that some countries have their end of year in the middle of the year...

    Well then may the odds be ever in your favour!

     You must not be from Canada (or america because I think they do theirs at this time too)

    But our finals are in three weeks, then we get the summer months off, june, july, august. I am looking forward to the heat and relaxation of summer.

     In Canada we don't use the ABCDF system. We use percentage. Your A would be our 90%, your B is our 80%, C is 70%, D is 60%, and F is 50%. Our 100% is your A+

    we use percents too. I've never seen or heard of anywhere using just a letter by itself, I always got a percent grade which translates into a letter (not the other way around). Although I guess final grades are usually listed as letters, but it's still based off of just the percent (and I guess GPA is based off the letters only though)

    Here in Finland, we don't really have finals, expecton some advanced years. I didn't have. My summer holiday started first of July, and there were no exams the week before. Luck for anyone still doing exams.
    We also have a different rating system with numbers, where 4 means failure and 10 is the best rank. I got three 10s (from history, art and English. One 8 from French. And rest 13 subjects nines. Therefore, my average is 9.12, which is pretty great.
