Oo~h... good point...

I foresee it like this:

Ron and Harry both will be hounded to no end by
Hermione about how they need to be studying for the
OWLs, no matter what sorts of baddies, etc that Harry
and them will have to deal with. (Trust Hermione never
to shirk her academic work.) Since she has already
been taking her practice OWLs for over a year or so,
she will, of course, most likely get the highest OWLs.
Harry and Ron will come out with a good number of them
as well; Harry will likely get more than Ron on the
base fact that Harry probably knows a bit more than
Ron thanks to the preparations he had to do for the
Triwizard tournament (thinking of the last task
specifically...)

I always imagined the OWLs something like the PSAT or
maybe the SAT, whereas the NEWTs (er, was that what
Percy was taking?) something like graduate-school
level tests. What would they have to do...?
