common app question?

im not quite sure what is means

Is promotion within your educational system based upon standard leaving examinations given at the end of lower and/or senior secondary school by a state or national leaving examinations board?

does this mean that i get to go to the next grade only if i pass an exam in the previous grade?

i took my gcse’s in 11th grade and im currently in grade 13 completing my second year of A-level.

I think it’s basically asking you who gives your examinations: the school or a national board?
