How does the schooling work in Switzerland for a student exchange?
I'm doing a student exchange for 3 months next year and I'm not sure how the credits and everything work, or what the schools are like compared to American ones. Any detail about their schools would be great or from people that have done exchanges there... Thanks

1 :
6 is perfect or very nearly perfect (depends on the teacher, some refuse to ever give a 6) 5 is very good, probably still equivalent to an A or at least A- 4 is good, about a B 3 is not good, a D or F 2 is really bad I don't know if anyone actually gets 1s. There are also partway marks, like 4-5 or sometimes 4.25
2 :
They go by point system like GOG said
3 :
Its exactly like GOG said. We have numbers, 1-6. (6 is the best, 1 the worst). In tests, the teacher can give us every grade he wants to. For example a 5.19. But in the school report, they'll round our grades (it's simple, a 0.24 will be rounded down and a 0.25 will be rounded up)...you are just able to get grades like this: 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3........5.5, 6! It's pretty hard to get a 6, it's almost impossible. Some teacher say: "I'll just pass out a 6 if the student is smarter than me". But there are some people that get a 1.

I dont know if its true, but I'm going with no due to the popular belief that western electronics dont work on the eastern side o' earth.
2 :
of course
3 :
No it wont work because different places in the world have different electrical volts and if you take your xbox there it might either explode or it wont have enough energy.
4 :
There are three different television broadcast formats in the world: NTSC, PAL, and SECAM. Each of these are incompatible with each other. The U.S. uses NTSC, so you need to find out what the country you're going to uses for it to show up on the screen. Then there's the power plugs. Most countries use different shaped plugs and you'll need adapters to plug it in. Last is voltage. The U.S. uses 110 and some countries use 250, plug in your system and it gets fried instantly. You'll need a converter. So, if you the country you're going to uses NTSC you're OK you can always adapt the other things. If it doesn't there's nothing you can do.
