Sopohmore equivalent

[runnawaybus]

Hi guys, I live in New Zealand and am just interested in what the NZ equivalent is to a sopohmore. What is rough average age of a sopomore? Thanks

High school: 15-16
College: 19-20

Officially it's the second year of university or high school (although US degrees are 4 years and I believe they have one less year of high school)

Yeah, traditionally high school and college are each 4 years. What is it over there?

In New Zealand: Our college is 5years(your high school I think- ages 13-18), then University is 3years(18+)
Why cant we all be the same

Grades 1 through 8 are not otherwise individually named that I know of. (In the USA we frequently end sentences with prepositions.)

High School Grade 9 - Freshman - First year college/university
High School Grade 10 - Sophomore - Second year
High School Grade 11 - Junior - Third year
High School Grade 12 - Senior - Fourth year

Often, when people speak of these names for college "years" they are speaking in terms of credits earned based on four years to complete a typical Bachelors degree.

therefor if you have completed 44 of 160 units you are a 2nd year, because your 1/4ths(+) done... to furthur clarify... (or a sophmore)...
