Are European history tests this difficult and comprehensive? Seems like one examination covers everything you've ever learned about history.
Certainly a lot harder than American testing.

Matriculation examinations are the tests with which you get into a university, you take them at the third (and some at second) year of upper secondary school.
You must have some sort of equivalent, though I don't know what it would be.
(Though universities have their own exams, too, but I'm thinking that those are more informal)
We have SAT's or whatever ... if I remember correctly, SAT's are divided between 'math' section, and 'verbal' section, with a possible high score of 1600, I got a 1250 or something. There are no other subjects or tests unless they're administered by a university (and those are usually done after acceptance to see if you place in certain advanced classes).
No more history, ever. I had my Abitur/matriculation examination. Some nice questions and EDIT

Congrats and well done; giving up on history is missing out though, IMHO.
