German culture

In Germany, there are different kinds of secondary schools called Gymnasium and Realschule (those start after 4th grade). When going to the gymnasium you can graduate (get the diploma to go to university). Depending on the state you get to chose main courses which will be tested once you graduate. Also after 10th grade, your grades get ratet by points, 15 beim the highest and 0 being the lowest. You have to earn a certain amount of points to even be qualified to graduate.
