And my daughter had finished A1, geo, and A2 before she applied - yes in 8th grade - but her math placement test put her back down in geo. You can’t really go by class levels, some of them don’t translate to “Exeter math” or “Deerfield math” or whatever. They also had some difficulty in finding the proper placement for her in her foreign language because she was advanced in some areas and deficient in others. They ended up placing her in a higher level where she was definitely challenged and is still working to fill in the gaps.

She also has the same experience to relate concerning classmates ages. The ages vary within approximately 2 years within the class. So there are a lot of kids doing a lot of different things.
