-The '''Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test''' (often abbreviated '''N.E.W.T.''' or '''NEWT''') is a highly-advanced test of [[Magic (Harry Potter)|magic]]al ability in a particular field in the fictional ''[[Harry Potter]]'' series. The [[Ministry of Magic]] administers the series of tests to students before they graduate from [[Hogwarts]]. For their sixth and seventh years, Hogwarts students select which N.E.W.T.-level classes they want to take in order to prepare for the tests. Achievement on these tests is highly important for graduates seeking employment. The Ministry of Magic, for example, seeks to hire only those with exceptionally good scores on their N.E.W.T.s. The N.E.W.T. designation is presumably intended to mirror the real-world English [[A Level (UK)|A Level]].

-N.E.W.T.s are presumably graded on the same scale as the one used for grading [[Ordinary Wizarding Level|O.W.L.]]s, which is:
+{{R from fictional element|Harry Potter}}
+{{R to section}}
-''Passing grades''
+}}
-*'''O''' for ''Outstanding''
-*'''E''' for ''Exceeds Expectations''
-*'''A''' for ''Acceptable''
-''Failing grades''
-*'''P''' for ''Poor''
-*'''D''' for ''Dreadful''
-*'''T''' for ''Troll'' {{HP5}}
-Some of the references to N.E.W.T.s in the series include:
-*[[Percy Weasley]] does excellently on his N.E.W.T.s and quickly lands a job in the Ministry of Magic.
-*Dumbledore noted that the auror Dawlish had received an Outstanding on all of his N.E.W.T.s.
-*In Chapter 29 of ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'', [[Harry Potter (character)|Harry Potter]] (at the time preparing for his O.W.L.s), consults with [[Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]] about career possibilities. He wants to be an [[Auror]], and she informs him that the Ministry of Magic expects Auror applicants to have achieved "Exceeds Expectations" in at least five N.E.W.T.s. She recommends that he enroll in the N.E.W.T.-level classes in [[Hogwarts subjects#Defence Against the Dark Arts|Defence Against the Dark Arts]], [[Hogwarts subjects#Transfiguration|Transfiguration]], [[Hogwarts subjects#Herbology| Herbology]], [[Hogwarts subjects#Charms|Charms]], and [[Hogwarts subjects#Potions|Potions]].
-*In ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'', Harry, Ron and Hermione do not return to Hogwarts for their seventh year. However, it is unclear if N.E.W.T.s even take place during this year as Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic are under the control of Lord Voldemort for most of that time.  As author J.K. Rowling has stated that Harry, Ron and Hermione all go on to work in the Ministry of Magic (with Harry becoming head of the Auror department), we can assume that they either have another chance to take their N.E.W.T.s or are granted a special exception. (Harry did actually complete his seventh year and complete his NEWT)
-*There are only twelve students in Harry's N.E.W.T. Potions class, although all four houses are represented:
-**[[Hogwarts Houses#Gryffindor|Gryffindor]]: [[Harry Potter (character)|Harry Potter]], [[Hermione Granger]], [[Ronald Weasley]]
-**[[Hogwarts Houses#Hufflepuff|Hufflepuff]]: [[Ernie Macmillan]]
-**[[Hogwarts Houses#Ravenclaw|Ravenclaw]]: [[Terry Boot]], [[Michael Corner]], two unnamed students
-**[[Hogwarts Houses#Slytherin|Slytherin]]: [[Draco Malfoy]], [[Blaise Zabini]], [[Theodore Nott]], one unnamed student (most likely a girl, since [[Vincent Crabbe|Crabbe]] and [[Gregory Goyle|Goyle]] failed their exams)
