So, do those exams just determine whether or not you move to the next grade/level or where you are in terms of education? I heard from someone that they are extremely important though/hard.

For the U.S., it all depends on what state you're in. In New Jersey we have the ESPA (4th grade), GEPA (8th), the HSPA (11th) and the ACT/SATs. I don't remember too much about the ESPA/GEPA but in order to graduate from High School you have to pass the GEPA. Like I said though, it depends on the state because all Florida has is something called the FCAT which is a waste of time IMO. The ACT/SAT I & II/AP exams are for college admissions.

Gah. I hate school.
