Hello :)
I'm based in the U.K. so depending on where this question was posted from - the answer could be either helpful or not.
Here we have graded classes in schools, so people will be taught at a rate suitable for them depending on the grade class they're in. For example I was always hopeless at Maths, so I was in one of the lowest grades for Maths. Classes are taught at a slower pace, meaning I could get to grips with the topics better than if I was in a higher grade class which covered these topics briefly.
In college however, that changes. There's no set grades. For example there could be 100 people studying maths at college. Classes will be split into groups of around 15 - and taught together. Someone who was a lower grade in school could be taught in the same class in college, as someone who was in a higher grade class in school.
Although I wouldn't worry about this at all. For example if you are someone who was in a higher grade in school, then you will finish the work on time and then the lecturer will be able to provide additional work or more in depth work for you.
And likewise, if you were in a lower grade in school then you would be allowed extra time to complete work, and likely get some extra help to do so.
Everyone's different, and college learning is different to school learning. In school you're told what to learn, how to learn it and when to learn it. In college, they will tell you what you need to find out, and will provide the tools (mainly books) you need to find the information and from there it's down to you to find the answers.
Hope this helps.
