School stress? Because of the exams that are coming?

Well, the exam is on the finish line so you write a lot of tests (also not announced once) + I've got my french exam returned today and I couldn't say I was pleased and I'm trying to do as much as I can for it in the next weeks because I want to take french for my degree and the preparation on it starts in summer.

Then we've got the same right now
My second testweek started Friday, it lasts till next monday. After that another testweek in April, and then the national exams in May. I've got French too! But I'm not that good in it... I've actually got too many subjects for the exams, so I don't know if I'll pass in subjects like French, Russian and Physics.And what do you mean with 'take French for my degree'? Can you still choose the subjects you want to take exams in?

I'm now in year 10, if you visit a german 'Gymnasium' it takes 12 1/2 year (it's called 13 years). In year 10 you choose 3 subjects which you want to study extensively for your degree. So you start in year 11 with this 3 main subjects (5 hours a week) and other subjects get less important. Also you can get rid of two subjects and decide whether you like to have arts or music
Alright?

You had that mandatory in GDR, but everyone I spoke to, who grew up in the GDR hated it

You actually can! You can take exams in Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Turkish, Arabic and Frisian (And other non-language subjects). But Russian is a very unpopular examsubject.
Around 80.000 people take exams every year, approximately 20 of them take the Russian exam. Only 4 schools provide Russian lessons, and I'm on a school which doesn't provide these lessons so I have to learn it myself. That would also be the reason that I probably won't get a very good mark for my exam...

That was the same in Hungary.
In the high school there was Russian as the 2nd foreign language, 10-15 students learned it in a grade.

Ok, that would be very different when you would compare that to the Dutch schoolsystem. We have to take Dutch and English, Maths is actually also mandatory, but you can choose to not take it. After that you'll have to choose 4/5 other subjects to take your exam in. And then I've already skipped things like sports and 'Gesellschaftslehre' which are also mandatory, but you won't have to take an exam in those subjects

Nice choices! Here you must obligatorily learn German and English (and French of course), and then you can choose one more subject as "specific option", the languages you can choose are Italian, Spanish (that's what I'm doing), English (you study deeply English than the others), Latin and Old Greek. There are Russian courses only at university and at "night school"(I'm doing this to learn Russian)

Actually that's quite cool in Germany: You get a list with combinations that are possible at your school. I took the combination foreign language - foreign language - 'Gesellschaftswissenschaft' and specifically I chose English, French and History. So there's to hope a french class will be possible because it's not very popular.
