This is the 5th period. I had three courses and two of them require exams. It's actually the very first period in which I get to finish a course with just a verbal exam, which really wasn't that hard... especially if you get along with the assistent ;)
The next period, the 6th, will be the last and then I'll have a vacation, oh yeah ;)
Right now the highschoolers have their end exams, I remember having to do those last year :P
Btw, I think Holland's school periods have way different starting and ending dates than those of Australia's (I think that's where you're from? or I read that wrong >.>)
