They have trade type schools for people who don't have what it takes to make it in high schools.

OK, now we're getting to the real story. The best high schools and prep schools in the U. S. don't require calculus, but the best students in U. S. high schools can take calculus and linear algebra if they want.

It is an exam, that people have nightmares for the rest of their lives. I still do. I think it was the hardest exam of my life. It spans several days.

That's the way New Yorkers described the Regents' exams when I was in college, but I never experienced either so I can't say they're comparable.
