And in the concurrently, I'g agape, we shall be working harder than ever to ensure that you all practise yourselves justice!"

— The importance of O.Due west.50. exams^[src]

An Ordinary Wizarding Level (frequently abbreviated O.West.L.) was a standardised subject-specific test taken during Hogwarts students' fifth year. These exams were administrated by the Wizarding Examinations Say-so and had been effectually since the tardily 1800s.^[2]

The score made past a pupil on a particular O.Due west.50. determined whether or not students would be able to continue taking the subject in subsequent schoolhouse years. Examination scores as well adamant what type of job a student could have once graduating Hogwarts.^[iii]

As well as referring to the test that students took in their 5th year, the term "O.W.L" also referred to the type of class, i.e. the level of difficulty of the class the pupil is taking. In addition, "achieving an O.W.L" was used to refer to a form in which the student had passed their O.Westward.L exam (case: Harry Potter received an O.W.L. in Transfiguration by attaining a passing grade on the O.W.L exam for that class.)^[4]

Importance

"O.West.L.s are really important, impact the jobs you can apply for and everything."

— O.West.Fifty.s' effect on the future^[src]

Due to the serious and of import nature of the tests, grooming for both O.W.L.s and North.E.West.T.s was very hard work. Students would generally begin preparing for their O.W.Fifty.south in their 4th year, in club to take them at the end of their fifth.^[5] The pressure was plenty to make certain students (such equally Hannah Abbott) have a panic attack, and it was necessary to give them a Calming Draught to lower their anxiety.^[6]

These examinations in sort determined what type of career students would exist able to obtain once their education had been completed. Some careers required sure subjects to be taken at North.Eastward.Due west.T. -level and with a passing grade or in some cases top grades.^[3] In social club to exist admitted into a course at N.E.W.T. level, a pupil get-go had to achieve an 'Outstanding' or 'Exceeds Expectations' at O.West.Fifty.-level in order to cope with the upcoming course work, which would be much more advanced. Minerva McGonagall would not let Neville Longbottom into her North.E.W.T. Transfiguration form, considering he did not achieve a high enough grade, which meant that Neville would have not had the skills or knowledge in that field to reasonably keep up with the significantly more challenging coursework.^[vii]

Successfully completing the O.W.L.south was a sign that the educatee was trustworthy enough to exist a constabulary-constant citizen who could learn from their mistakes. Thus, any such students who were expelled would be permitted to keep their wands and continue to practise magic, though this would be a sign of disgrace forever tainting their permanent record, every bit Newton Scamander underwent.^[8]

Cheating

"Now, I must warn you that the almost stringent Anti-Cheating Charms have been applied to your examination papers."

— The exams are charmed to forbid cheating^[src]

Cheating was also both highly tempting for the students and highly guarded against past the exam givers. Anti-Adulterous Spells were applied to all O.W.50. exam papers. Car-Reply Quills, Remembralls, Detachable Cribbing Cuffs, and Cocky-Correcting Ink were all banned from the examination hall as well.^[one] Despite this, at least one educatee attempted to cheat every year, though none known were successful since the twelvemonth 1896.^[ix]

Study

"Ginny'southward O.W.Fifty.s were approaching and she was therefore forced to study for hours into the night."

— A typical O.W.L. study routine^[src]

The trio studying for their O.Due west.L. exams

Students such as Ernie Macmillan studied eight or nine hours a day in guild to ensure good results'. The day before exams, fifth yr students in Gryffindor spent the entire day reviewing subject content that could appear in their exams. Harry Potter quizzed Hermione Granger by asking her question from the volume Achievements in Charming. Hermione became so agitated that she accidentally hit Harry in the olfactory organ with the abrupt corner of the book, afterwards having snatched it back in lodge to check her answers.^[1]

Ron Weasley spent his fourth dimension reading 2 years' worth of Charms notes with his fingers in his ears, his lips moving soundlessly. Seamus Finnigan laid apartment on his dorsum on the floor, reciting the definition of a Substantive Charm while Dean Thomas checked it against The Standard Book of Spells, Class five. Parvati Patil and Lavander Brownish practised bones Locomotion Charms, by making their pencil-cases race each other around the edge of a tabular array.^[1]

Achievements in Charming an O.WL. textbook

The evening before the exam was uncomfortable. Every fifth yr was trying to do final-infinitesimal revising, merely nobody seemed to be getting very far. All the fifth year boys were lying awake, but no one in the dormitory spoke. None of the fifth-years talked very much at breakfast the side by side mean solar day, either. Parvati was practising incantations under her breath. Hermione was rereading Achievements in Charming so fast that her optics appeared blurred. Neville Longbottom kept dropping his pocketknife and fork and knocking over the marmalade.^[1]

Students besides studied in between exams, practising wand movements and whispering incantations under their jiff. Students also went direct to their common rooms after meals and submerged themselves in revision for whatever exams they had the side by side mean solar day.^[1] Ginny Weasley was also forced to study for hours into the night and spend much time within the Hogwarts Library.^[ten]

Exams

"I think it appropriate to remind you lot that side by side June y'all will be sitting a important examination, during which you will prove how much you have learned about the composition and use of magical potions. Moronic though some of this course undoubtedly are, I expect you to scrape an 'Acceptable' in your O.W.L., or suffer my... displeasure."

— Professor Snape regarding the potions exam^[src]

A Theory of Charms O.West.L. exam paper

Most O.Due west.L.southward were divided into written exams and applied exams.^[1] The O.West.L. was comparable to the Muggle "O level" given at the same stage of education (the "O" standing for Ordinary). In 1988, this examination was replaced by the G.C.S.E. in England and Wales and the Standard Certificate level in Scotland, though in recent years the Standard Certificate has been replaced by National 5s in Scotland, only wizards were nether no obligation to modify their examinations when Muggles did.

Strict measures, such every bit Anti-Adulterous Quills and Anti-Cheating spells, were used to prevent academic dishonesty. Amongst the examiners were Griselda Marchbanks and Professor Tofty. When a practical test started, students would exist called in alphabetically, by either first or last name.^[1]

Schedule

O.W.Fifty. exams were administered over a menstruum of two successive weeks at the end of fifth year. Nigh exams were divided into two parts: students will sit the theory portion in the morning and the applied portion in the afternoon, with the exception of the Astronomy practical exam, which occurs at night.^[1]

1989

The exact days for the O.West.L.s was unknown, but it was known that 7 of the O.W.L.s were held in this order.^[11]

1. Potions
2. Charms
3. Transfiguration
4. Herbology
5. Care of Magical Creatures
6. History of Magic
7. Defence Against the Night Arts

It is unknown when the Astronomy, Divination, Arithmancy, Muggle Studies and Study of Aboriginal Runes O.W.Fifty.s took identify.

Behind the scenes

• O.West.Fifty.s are comparable to the formerly used Ordinary Levels (known as "O-Levels") that these exams appear to be named after, being taken effectually the aforementioned age and studied for ii years before examination.
• In their Charms test, students are called in social club by last proper noun, alphabetically. Notwithstanding, Harry Potter and Hannah Abbott are called at the same time for their Transfiguration exam, which may hateful Transfiguration O.W.Ls are called in society of first proper name.
• The but known characters to receive all twelve O.W.L.due south are Percy Weasley, Bill Weasley, and Bartemius Crouch Junior. However, in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, it is revealed that attempting this would cause a timetable clash during that year; Minerva McGonagall had to write several letters to the Ministry in order to obtain a Fourth dimension-Turner for Hermione Granger so that she would exist able to attend all her classes when she attempted to accept all twelve subjects in her third year (although she ultimately dropped two when she was not able to cope with so many subjects). Information technology is unclear how Percy, Bill, and Barty Crouch Jnr were able to brand a similar accomplishment as Hermione's was the simply Fourth dimension-Turner to ever enter Hogwarts according to J.K. Rowling.^[36] It should be noted that Barty Crouch Jnr obtaining twelve O.Due west.Fifty.s was mentioned by his father during a bout of insane rambling due to the damage to his heed from fighting the Imperius Curse and could accept been a delusional mistake on the role of Bartemius Hunker Senior. On the other paw, all 3 had parents connected in some fashion with the Ministry, so this is fairly plausible.
• Harry Potter and his year all brainstorm studying for their O.W.L.S equally early equally the beginning of 4th twelvemonth. It is unknown whether this is the case with other years at Hogwarts or if it was a precaution so students didn't forget their work whilst the Triwizard Tournament was being held.
• In third yr in Danish it is known every bit A.L.North. (Almindeligt Troldmands Niveau) which is a directly translation of Ordinary Wizarding Level, just non directly translation of OWL. In 5th year in Danish, nevertheless information technology is known every bit U.Yard.L. (Udmærkelse for Genialitet og Lærevillighed) which needs an Eastward to exist a correct translation of O.W.50., this is non a direct translation of Ordinary Wizarding Level.
• In early on editions of Harry Potter and the One-half-Blood Prince, Hermione Granger is said to receive eleven O.W.L.southward, scoring ten O's and ane Eastward. Withal, after the events of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Hermione shrunk her course load from twelve subjects to ten, dropping both Divination and Muggle Studies. This was corrected in the Scholastic edition, where Ron instead states the she received nine O's and one East, giving her a total of x O.W.L.s.
• It is interesting to notation that the passing grades of O.W.50. exams are vowels (A, E, and O), while the declining grades are consonants (P, D, and T).
• In the film version of Half-Blood Prince, many more students are seen studying N.Due east.W.T. level Potions. Interestingly, both Romilda Vane and Katie Bell are seen in this class, despite the fact that Romilda is a fourth year and Katie is a seventh yr.
• In Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, players can guide Jacob's sibling to gain at least an A in 7 subjects:
  • Charms
  • Potions
  • Transfiguration
  • Intendance of Magical Creatures
  • Herbology
  • History of Magic
  • Defence force Against the Dark Arts
  • It is likely Jacob'southward sibling too got a passing grade in Astronomy and Divination, equally these classes are unlocked in Year 6.
