On your nerves, English is getting.
In a sentence, the order of words, do you ponder.
Just be like Yoda.

Or, that should be: Like Yoda, be like.

Yep, when I got to elementary school I could already read and write as well. Some kids couldn't. At all.

Primary school in the UK, as in, proper school and not pre-school or nursery, is ages 5-6.

I started proper school at 3 because I could read and write at 2 years old All the other kids were 5 and 6 years old.
I never went to nursery or pre-school at all.

Did my final exams at 14, left school at 15 and got a job
Data engineering. Unless you miserably flunked more than 2 exams, you'd finished it in 7 semesters. As expected.

The level wasn't too high, and given my current job, the programming classes were all very entry level stuff. That being said, the major itself focused on data analysis, statistics etc., even though I took the more programming-oriented specialty. Lots of hand-written math too, and some fillers like psychology or law (WTF!?).
Well, its depend on i guess - especially civil and mechanical engineering
u must be pretty smart senpai
Lot of enginer here pass four years and some even reach seven
Obviously, the university time depends on the major. Med students study for 6 years!!! Usually it's 3 years undergraduate and then 2 years to get master. I spent only 3.5 years and became an engineer.

The basic school system in Japan is composed of elementary school (lasting six years), middle school (three years), high school (three years), and university (four years).
Sounds like Poland two years ago.
