'''Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests''' are final exams taken by 7th year students at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]].
 
These exams typically shape the career of the students so passing these exams is critical, as is obvious when [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Percy Weasley|Percy]] passes his NEWTs and joinsenters the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]]. Students take the exams in the subjects they have enrolled forin after their [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/OWL exams|OWLs]].
 
== Event Details ==
Fairly often in the books, something is being mentioned as being NEWT-class magic. Examples of this are [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]]'s ability to conjure a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Expecto Patronum|Patronus]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]]'s ability to perform the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Protean Charm|Protean Charm]]. NEWT-class spells are complicated enough that the average wizard does not expect to have to perform them for real until his NEWT exams, and thus Harry's ability, in his third year at Hogwarts, and Hermione's ability early in her fifth year, to perform magic that is not generally tested until seventh year, is exceptional.
 
Fairly often in the books, something is being mentioned as being NEWT-class magic. Examples of this are [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]]'s ability to conjure a corporeal [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Expecto Patronum|Patronus]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]]'s ability to perform the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Protean Charm|Protean Charm]]. NEWT-class spells are complicated enough that the average wizard does not expect to have to perform them for real until his NEWT exams, and thus Harry's ability, in his third year at Hogwarts, and Hermione's ability early in her fifth year, to perform magic that is not generally tested until seventh year, is exceptional.
 
In the same way, the courses one takes after one has achieved a sufficiently high OWL grade are called NEWT-level courses. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]] teaches advanced [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Transfiguration|Transfiguration]], for instance, to sixth and seventh year students who have achieved at least an E in their Transfiguration OWL, and we see [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Neville Longbottom|Neville]] wondering whether he can somehow parley his Transfiguration A into NEWT-level study in McGonagall's class.
 
The only person we hear of receiving their NEWT grades is Percy Weasley, and while we do hear that he had received his "top-grade NEWTs", we are not close enough to him to know what exams he is sitting or when.
== Event Details ==
 
=== '''Passing Grades ==='''
Because [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]] do not attend Hogwarts in their seventh year, we do not actually experience NEWT exams. We could possibly have seen [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fred and George Weasley|Fred and George]] taking these exams, but they elected to leave school dramatically in the middle of their seventh year. The only person we hear of receiving their NEWT grades is Percy Weasley, and we are not close enough to him to know what exams he is sitting or when.
 
*O - Outstanding <br/>
=== Passing Grades ===
*E - Exceeds Expectations <br/>
*A - Acceptable <br>
 
=== '''Failing Grades ==='''
O - Outstanding <br/>
E - Exceeds Expectations <br/>
A - Acceptable <br>
 
*P - Poor <br/>
=== Failing Grades ===
*D - Dreadful <br/>
 
*T - Troll <br/>
P - Poor <br/>
D - Dreadful <br/>
T - Troll <br/>
 
== Notable Consequences ==
 
Presumably, it is because of Percy's top-grade NEWTs that he is able to gain employment with the Ministry. Harry is told that in order to become an [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Auror|Auror]], he must manage to achieve at least five Exceeds Expectations grades in his NEWTs.
 
== Analysis ==
 
Similarly to the OWL exams, which are the analog of the Muggle GCSE or O-Level exams, the NEWT exams are analogous to the Muggle A-level exams, which are generally required for proceeding to university. There is no mention of a Wizarding university, but analogously the top jobs require NEWTs as a prologue to the further education that is required before starting work proper. We are told that there will be three years of study after graduation from Hogwarts before Harry will be able to start work as an Auror. While there must be a lot of stress in the lead-up to the NEWT exams, we don't actually get to see this.
 
It is likely that the NEWT exams are taken in the two weeks of summer term following the OWL exams. We have seen that OWLs take two weeks, during which time the Great Hall will be full of fifth-year students writing their exams; presumably, the NEWT exams fill the Great Hall for the following two weeks.

Despite Harry's being told that he must have at least five Exceeds Expectations NEWT results to become an Auror, the author has implied that he entered the Aurors in the year that would have followed his seventh year at school. As he neither attended Hogwarts that year, nor sat NEWTs, we must assume that the Aurors accepted his year of unsupervised work as being equivalent to the necessary studies and exams.
