An Ordinary Wizarding Level (often abbreviated O.W.L.) was a standardized subject-specific test taken during Hogwarts students' fifth year , administrated by the Wizarding Examination Authority. The score made by a student on a particular O.W.L. determined whether or not they would be allowed to continue taking that subject in subsequent school years, and whether they might have been successful in obtaining a particular job.

So, saying Astraea was a nervous wreck was an understatement. She wanted to be a Healer so unlike Fred and George - who hate education- she was taking it a bit too seriously. So when Minnie said she needs to talk to each one privately, indicating their OWLS she was about to faint.

"Miss Black", Minnie greeted her.

"Professor", she smiled awkwardly.

"Why are you nervous? Your hair is turning green", she exclaimed.

"OWLS" Astraea mumbled.

"You are a the brightest student I have ever seen, I am sure you will nail all your OWLS", she smiled assuring her. Astraea nodded.

"Now about your future", she started. "You plan on being  healer right?"

Astraea nodded.

"You need to at least Exceed Expectation in Newts in Potions, Transfiguration, Herbology, Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts", she started. "So does in OWLS"

"No pressure", Astraea mumbled.

"Not at all", Minnie smiled.

The first part of the test is the written exam. She had to answer four questions about various spells and their uses. The Wizarding Examination Authority has sent a nice professor that was cheerful and gave them support. Of course there was the anti-cheating quills and the Anti-cheating spell.
