isaacdaniels asked: Oh my word. There is so much UK english that I don't understand. What the hell does sixth form mean!? When do you graduate high school? Why is it that we speak the same language, but I can't understand you?

Haha its not that hard. Ok I will go through the schooling system with you

Primary school: 4 - 11 years

High school: 11 - 16 years

When your sixteen you take some exam called GCSE’s these are really important (or at the time they are) You have to get certain grades to get into six form where you study A-levels or a BTEC like I did. 

So you then Graduate High school at 16 but if you stay on at sixth form you graduate again at 18.

Sixth form/college: 16 - 18 years

Basically sixth form is (excuse me if I am wrong) The final two years of American high school…Freshman and Senior year but you have to get through exams to get to those two last years.

Then the sixth form exams get you into university.

Hope this helps!
