Almost finishing my year!

Well, this was a hard year. I've already passed my exams but now I have to sit for the finals. I don't know if in the USA, the UK, or others countries, you have this kind of method. But at our university, firstly you have to pass the exam and later you have to pass a "final" that is like an exam but so much harder. And the difference between an exam and a final is that if you pass an exam, you are able to continue with other subject (another subject/other subjects), and a final is just to finish the current subject.

Hi Baltasar The grammar here is near perfect! It sounds like you're using the word 'finals' in quite a different way to we do in the UK. Finals take place at the end of an undergraduate degree course. All other exams are just end of year or end of module exams. The Italian exam system sounds interesting! Lindsay
