Take it as a compliment,
I don't expect you get mistaken for a 15 year old everyday.

I don't get your high school system.
It just doesn't make sense to me. Here we'e just got six years of primary, six years of highschool, the last two are what are graded for your university entrance rank.

Here, it's 7 years primary, 5 years secondary, then 2 for Sixth form (which is when we're judged for Uni)

ahh I think our last two are maybe the equivalent of your Sixth form.
I tell you what though, our last year of school is equivalent to the first year of uni in America apparently. There was an american exchange student last year - he was about a year behind us in classwork, despite being in the same level.
