One more LOON note (it's like Phoenix song, but not so pretty).

Your first statement is straight out of canon (e.g. we are told that 
OWLS are taken in year five and F & G take theirs in PoA).  Your 
second, however, is speculation.  We don't know whether they will 
leave Hogwarts before their seventh year, nor whether any student 
other than Hagrid has ever done so.  Nothing has indicated that the 
twins plan to leave early, but we are all going to have to wait and 
see.
