How many weeks is High School supposed to last?

I've seen the early graduation announcements (far too many), and my Sim has been in high school longer than would have been in university. When is graduation triggered?
  • Graduation is triggered either when you accept the early graduation pop-up, or talk to teacher to graduate early, OR when your sim ages up to young adult. If you play with aging off and don't use early graduation, the sim will be in high school forever.

    To put it in numbers:

    0 days to ∞ days.

    It all depends on two factors:
    1. Getting expelled/dropping out/graduating early.
    2. The length of teen life stage and how early you age them up with a birthday cake.

    Ahhhh and with aging borked. This was helpful as I always play with aging off. Thanks!
  • Currently, my Flashback save has aging off. I got the invitation to have my two Sims graduate early. I clicked on it to see what was what. Then I exited without saving. I decided to roll back a save and start their high school days over. I still get these invitations, which eventually, I will accept. But for now, the entire reason I created this save was to take my Global Superstar through high school. I will write up the stories of what happened and when, to add them as flashbacks later on when his kids reach high school age. Right now, I'm not touching that save until they fix the aging bug. I suppose I could attempt to turn aging off so I can play it again, but it's a moot thing until his eldest enters high school.
