When did you finish school? vs When you graduated?

The two phrases are not directly comparable as they serve different purposes. 'When did you finish school?' is a complete question asking about the completion of school in general. 'When you graduated?' is a fragment that needs to be part of a larger sentence to be grammatically correct as well as to make sense.
