I believe many parents will be curious about what the various age groups mean. I will not answer them one by one here. You only need to remember a few key time points and what they mean❗️The content is relatively dry . 😐Collect it first✅Let ’s start to check the seats (top universities are not included in the discussion) ❗️The following ages are calculated according to September 1st of each year🧮For example, if you were born in May 2011, then your age will be September 1st this year Just over 13 years old ✍️

1️⃣ 13 years old - Grade 9: This grade is the year before entering the British junior high school. You can translate it as Grade 9 or Year 9.
