Some countries actually have exams..

I meant real exams. As in ones you put on your CV.

What does CV mean in the real world?

HOO-RAY, Summertime!!!

Congrats Fan Fizzie. Of course, I've been on summer vacation since May 4...

Of course, my summer classes started on May 7, but that's a different story entirely.

It's a resume. In the US, you just have to say that you have your degree in whatever (or high school diploma, or whatever your highest level of education happens to be). You need not put exam scores on it. AP's, SATs and SAT II's you only need to worry about when applying for colleges, and LSATs, MCATs, and GRE's are mainly looked at when applying to Grad School.

Psh, High School Standardized Tests. My neck of the woods we have SOL's. They're called that because if you planned on doing something intellectually stimulating or fun, you're SOL because you have to spend ten minutes taking a test and two and a half hours taking a nap. Pfui.

Curriculum Vitae = Resume

We can put whatever on our CV's. But the more proof you have you're amazing, the better. So it won't show the 4 F's you got, but you can mention the A*'s you got.

Yeah, here you shove everything you've ever acomplished on your CV, like winning a swimming gala and all.

You don't HAVE to put all your exam results on it, but an employer is entitled to look at all the results of every public exam you've sat, if they want to.

Writing a personal description to get into university is my fun though, its basically just a boast-fest, like rubbing in how amazing you are.
