In grade school did you learn the multiplication table through 10 or through 12?

I once had a student from Senegal who said his school made them learn through 15... I was a little jealous.

(I only learned through 10, but have picked up most of 11 and 12 slowly over time...I resent that I'll never know those as easily as the single digits. I wish I'd been forced to learn all the way to 20 tbh.)

I remember struggling with the 11-times table. 12 was reasonably easy (pre-decimalisation Brit, so we handled multiples of 12 regularly - 12 (old) pence to the shilling.)

I think we might have been asked about the 13-times table, but not as part of curriculum. I would think that in the late 60s learning the currency would have been mandatory primary-school curriculum, but I don't actually know that.
