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
While there must be a lot of stress in the lead-up to the NEWT exams, we don't actually get to see this, as Harry does not attend Hogwarts in his seventh year.
We can see that the OWL exams are probably named after the O-levels that were standard in Muggle education, until they were replaced by GCSEs; we can guess that the author is of an age to have taken O-levels and probably A-levels as a high school student. The reason for the name is uncertain, but we can guess that, having selected one animal with Wizarding associations for the fifth-year tests, another animal with magical associations should be selected as the acronym for the seventh-year tests. It is, perhaps, unusual that any Government body would create an exam including the words "nastily exhausting", so we can speculate that the official name, while retaining the NEWT acronym, may be something less humorous. If so, we never hear the official name.▼

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.
