zanooda:

We don't know exactly when and what kind of exams foreign students take. For example, Fleur mentioned in HBP that at Beauxbatons they have some important examination (something similar to OWLs, I suppose) after six years of study, not after five years, like in Britain. We just don't have enough information about foreign schools examination practices to judge :-).

zanooda:

I don't know, when Bagman explained the rules of the third task, he didn't say that the champion who touches the cup first is the winner, he just said that he/she will receive "full marks". I thought "full marks" meant the highest possible grade or something of the sort :-). For instance, the first champion to reach the cup gets 50 points (which are added to his total score), the second one - 45 etc. Of course, I may be wrong, it's just how I understood "full marks" :-).
