changing levels

[dulce_cantor]

     I would like someone to tell me how I know that I'm ready to move to the next piano level. My piano level right now is 1, and I am studying on my own.  I need to know what should I look for; should I be able to read all level one pieces at first sight?

in france, at the end of a level, there is an exam and then, your mark decides if u can acess to an other level! but it's not at all the same teaching. Most of the time, the teacher says u one day u're able to move to the next level and u prepare the exam. Can u explain me how works the levels in US? thanks, bye!
