Its the highest lvl in maths
When they take the exam, the lowest lvl they can get is lvl 6 and the highest lvl is lvl 8

Oh I see.. thank you lol, so level 6 is my foundation level which I'm doing? And level 8 is credit? Is there a 7? Or no? So if no, then maybe 6 is my general and 8 is my credit :s

Ang, in the SATs we have different Level paper to take. In maths for example, which we all had today, there's a 3-5 paper, a 4-6, a 5-7 and a 6-8. We do 2 papers and a mental arithmatic, then they add up our scores out of a total of 100 marks and give us a level from it :)

Well done :p We have a two writing tasks tomorrow, a shorter and longer one. Today we had 1 hour and 15 miutes for the reading one, which you had to spend 15 of the minutes just reading, and I finished the rest in about 35 minutes. The Shakespeare paper was so stupid! It was on Macbeth, I wrote 2 and a half pages :p
