Most pupils follow a course that includes basic subjects - English,
science and mathematics, social sciences and physical education - as
well as elective subjects for high school students who plan their careers
and select subjects that will be useful in their chosen work - foreign
languages, fine arts, advanced mathematics and science, and vocational
training.
Students usually receive grades from A (excellent) to F (failing) in
tests given throughout the year, participation in class discussions and
completion of written and oral assignments. End-of-the-year
examinations are given in many schools, but it's not a must.
IQ test

Sometimes students are given an IQ test (an Intelligence Quotient
test). It is not a test of their knowledge, but of their ability to think. The
results (scores) from these tests are known only by the teachers, and not
by the students or their parents. If you have a high IQ score the teachers
expect more of you, and give you more interesting work to do. At the
same time, you could have a bad IQ score and be quite bright because the
tests aren't perfect and often fail to bring out your best abilities.
