What happened to havng only 7 subjects?

[sietske]

Tweede fase. Nightmare.

She "only" did central exams in 9 subjects though.

Was afraid for her sanity already :-)

Great marks! Congratulations to her.

Did we even have 16 subjects we could graduate in?

*counts*

1. Dutch 2. Latin 3. Greek 4. English 5. French 6. German 7. Mathematics A 8. Mathematics B 9. Physics 10. Chemistry 11. Biology 12. Economy 1 13. Economy 2. 14. Geography 15. History

Though at my school you couldn't take Economy 2.

Did I leave any ordinary subjects out?

As addition there would be Spanish, Turkish, Arabic, Philosophy and Frisian I guess. (Art?)

Yep!

8,0 average which means she can most likely get into the Med school of her choice without entering the draw.

Congrats to your sister! (How old is she? Am trying to sort out whether she is 12 or 18-ish.)

18-ish

[sietske]

18 in October.

It's the "grammar school graduate" that confused me. Over here, "grammar school" is the lower grades, though I know it's different in (for instance) the UK. My DH is a grammar school graduate, too.

I know, it can be confusing

Over here we have a split school system after primary school, either 4, 5 or 6 years. The grammar school ("gymnasium" in Dutch) is the 6-year course that includes Latin and Greek. You have to do at least one of them until the end of the sixth year. Sis chose Greek.

My mistake. I was in such a hurry to post that I didn't wait.

There wasn't a central exam for all of them, though. Some subjects were closed as early as two years ago.
