12. in my country 12 is the success cutoff. if you didn't go to the one right gymnasium where all the winners in life go after 6th grade, it's over.
doesn't matter if you go on to actually gradesmog them in high school finals, they had the right connections and their parents set them up to get into foreign unis using extracurriculars that cost thousands of euros. and going to a top foreign uni is the only way out of this shithole or into the executive class (there is no legitimate business here they all just steal tax and EU money)
