The Seventh Year contains the most important exams given at Hogwarts — the [[Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test|N.E.W.T.]]s. Students conclude their [[Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test|N.E.W.T.]] level studies in the seventh year, at the end of which they sit the [[Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test|N.E.W.T.]] exam pertaining to each of their subjects.

Percy Weasley - Gryffindor Head Boy in 1993

A seventh year is a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who is in their seventh and final year of formal magical education. Seventh years are usually seventeen to eighteen years of age.

The seventh year contains the most important exams given at Hogwarts — the N.E.W.T.s. Students conclude their N.E.W.T. level studies in the seventh year, at the end of which they sit the N.E.W.T. exam pertaining to each of their subjects. A student in the seventh year would have the same schedule he or she had in the sixth year, and would sit only those classes in which they received O.W.L.s meeting the minimum requirement of the professor for that subject. However, not all students take N.E.W.T.s as some occupations require only O.W.L.s.

Every year, a male and female seventh year student are appointed Head Boy and Head Girl respectively by the Headmaster (or Headmistress).
