Did Jesus attend primary and high school ?
Did he sit for examination and score good grades ?

He was likely taught TaNaKh at home and He also was taught at His local synagogue...

The bible doesn't specifically go into anything regarding His education while being raised by Joseph and Mary, but accounts like the time He went to the temple and sat with the priests when He was 12 suggests He either already had the knowledge from birth, or it was imparted to Him by the Father at some point before that occurred. Something else we do know is He worked as a carpenter with His father until He was ready to start His ministry.

If this is a serious question, it's ridiculous.

Maybe Jesus went online to receive his diploma! :liturgy:

Did Jesus attend primary and high school ?
No. Jesus never attended any school of the 'Rabbis':

Joh_7:15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?​

He was raised by Joseph and Mary and God His Father, and also the Holy Ghost and by nature (see all of Jesus' parables), and angels (like Gabriel) would guard Him:
Luk_2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

Luk_2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

the child grew, stature - physically
waxed strong in spirit - spiritually
filled with wisdom - mentally
the grace of God was upon him - gracefully
in favour with God and man - socially​
Luk_2:51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

subject to, being taught by, reading the scrolls of the OT (for Jesus always said, "It is written" and "Have ye never read". Jesus went to the local gathering (synagogue; John 6:42; Luke 4:16).​

Did he sit for examination and score good grades ?
His examination was always before His Father in Heaven:

Heb_5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

Mat_3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Mat_17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.​

When did Jesus started to know that he is Son of God.
At the age of 12, Jesus first understood His mission, which He Himself had laid out in the types in the Sanctuary, when He went to Jerusalem and considered the events of the Passover (and thus Jesus knew the very timing of His own life and death, even to the very year, month, day and hours).

Luk 2:42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.

Luk 2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?​

Did Jesus have full knowledge like God, means omniscience, when he was on Earth?
Jesus while a child, "increased in wisdom" (Luke 2:32). The Son of the Father had omniscience but did not rely upon this attribute when He took upon Himself the form of a servant, taking upon Himself the nature of mankind, but laid it aside (not using or relying upon it):

Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:​

Jesus relied upon the Father to reveal to Him what was needful for the day:

Mat 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Mat 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Mat 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
Mat 6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
Mat 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Mat 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Mat 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Mat 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Mat 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.​

Everyday, Jesus would be found in communion (by prayer) to His Father above. By this constant communion (John 3:13) with His Father in Heaven, throughout each day of grace granted, Jesus would be instructed by the word written (OT) and the Holy Ghost. Jesus was also watchful of the object lessons in life all around Him, as created by His own hand by direction of the Father (Genesis 1).

Jesus lived life as a man must live:

1Pe_2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:​

There is also that the Holy Ghost was poured out upon Jesus without measure:

Joh_3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.​

Does Jesus have omniscience? Yes.

Jesus must also go through human's process.
Not only as a 'must', but in deed, did do so, as it is written of Him:

Heb 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Heb 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Heb 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.​

He also went to toilet to pass out
Yes, which is why Jesus could teach on it.

Mat_15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?​
