<div class="IPBDescription">for education</div> Just wanted to know what you consider to be a normal age for being in 11th grade, and what is not normal.

For the British: What is a normal age for a person to do their GCSEs?
For Americans: Normal age for doing the first SAT I exam?

    Englishmen start in Kindergarten when they're 5

    Here in Denmark it's 6 years old.

    we start having real tests in the 8th grade, i remember having some Danish tests in 7th grade(just to test if there were anyone who needed extra help)
    I think grades came in 9th grade, but i cant really remember that. also its obligatory to go to school untill 9th grade, then afterwards most take 10th grade away from home - its called "efterskole" translated into "Continueation school" in the dict.

    then after that, they pick something depending on their dreams. 'Technical' school, 'Buisness' school, Gymnasium <-- ' ' = rough translations.
    and if you're going really high you take Uni - as every other country i know of.

    EDIT: its not 1st class, but its called Kindergarten afaik.

    In Britain it's called Nursery FYI <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The average for a GCSE is about 15-16. It's the English that do those. We (Scottish) do Standard Grades which are pretty much the same.

    11th grade normal age in the US would probably be 16 or 17.
