Levels on LaDictee.fr

[Moira in MA]

Can someone please explain the levels (e.g. niveau cm1, niveau 3ème, etc.) on the LaDictee site: http://www.ladictee.fr/.

Working from the theory that 0-6 is preschool, then they seem to be aimed from preschool through about age 15, is that correct?

I could never wrap my brain on the fact that they count backwards till they finish school... Just like a prison term...

I think that is exactly how dh felt about his schooling in France, Cleo.

I always thought it was left over from when schools had all the students together in one class and the "first" students in the class were the top students - first in the sense of best, not the time sense of beginning.
