5 O Levels
Je suis en train de traduire un CV et dans le petit paragraphe comprenant les diplômes et formations, j'ai "School: 5 O Levels". En sachant que la personne a fait ses études au Royaume-Uni, comment le rendre en français ?
Merci d'avance pour votre aide !!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
5 O Levels (cinq matières examinées après 5 années d’études secondaires)
Le fait que les O Levels ont disparu il y a bien longtemps (années 80 ?) n’a aucune incidence sur la traduction.

: It would help the reader to write it as "5 O-Levels". The hyphen is discretionary.

Discussion
The point of saying '5' is that an exam at this levelk was passed in 5 different subjects; this idea of a 'per subject' qualification is a bit alien to French culture, so may be the part you need to explain the most.
