New Zealand
In New Zealand, 12th grade is known as Year 13. Students entering Year 13 are usually 17–18 years old. This is the last year of high school. In Year 13, students complete NCEA Level 3, which involved getting a certain number of 'credits' from different exams and other assessments. Students must gain 80 achieved credits or higher (20 of which are taken from Level 2) to pass the year.
