      I left school at the end of 5th year with my Highers and went straight to university a couple of weeks after my 17th birthday.

      I stayed at school until the end of 6th year! I didn’t challenge myself much in 6th year though, I took 2 highers, 1 advanced higher and an intermediate 2 cooking class 🙂

      I studied in India. I had secondary exams (at the age of 15) followed by higher secondary exams (at the age of 17). I left school after that and started ny undergrad( bachelors).

      I went to school in Greece where education system is slightly different than here. In Greece we have 9 years of mandatory education ( 6 years secomdary school and 3 years Junior high school). After that you can continue for 3 years in high school during which you select your field of studies (science, arts etc) and at the end you have national final exams to continue to higher education. I did all 12 years of school and left when I was 17.5 yo
