I'm pretty sure he didn't - i think he stopped school work at 17 (although obviously if he was carrying on from the scottish system.....)

He wouldn't have time with all his tennis. Anyway, what would he need them for?

I'm pretty sure he didn't do them - he was in Barcelona from the time he was 15 wasn't he?
I'm sure he said he stopped his school work after a year or so to concentrate on the tennis....

Highers? I don't know - I guess if you're not in the country they're not really compulsory  |

in scotland we do standard grades in fourth year which = gcse and in 5th year we do highers which r the big ones and i thnk = a levels.
he may wel hav done standard grades caus he was studying maths english and spanish but i really doubt it. highers definitely not!

In which case, i think i'd have to stay on until the end of the first term of yr 12  I don't know..... i could be talking rubbish  |
