Answer 2

Year 11 in Britain would be Year 10 in America.

Quite simple actually.

University- College

Upper Sixth- Year 12

And so forth downwards.

Year 10 is known as the sophomore year in America.

I have completed this year level and will be moving forward to Lower Sixth, or my Junior year, depending if you are American or English.

I'm actually Australia, we just call it Grade 11, and Finish in Grade 12.

Answer 3

In America, you usually have preschool first. Then I think it's roughly equivalent -- we used to be more similar, but now we've largely changed it to this:

Kindergarten

First Grade

Second Grade

Third Grade

Fourth Grade

Fifth Grade (Elementary School)

Sixth Grade

Seventh Grade

Eighth Grade (Middle School/Junior High)

Ninth Grade/Freshman

Tenth Grade/Sophomore

Eleventh Grade/Junior

Twelfth Grade/Senior (High School)

Uni

And sometimes before Kindergarten, Pre-K, but that's often lumped in with preschool.

Answer 4

Grade 10 usually. Depends on your age though.
