I’m moving to the UK soon and I tried learning about the education system but it confuses me to the point when I stop thinking and sit in silence because I’m used to elementary and high school (at any age if it’s public school) but I don’t get the year 3 or 10 or levels or these capital letters put together and I wanna cry I’ve never felt this stupid.
Like, I’m in grade 10 and I’m going to London. Do they have textbooks? Can I get them online (for free haha)? I want to study it before going there. Do I choose what I want to learn? Please explain it calmly and in detail dissected please

In America, during high school you’ll do your SATs then go to a 4 year university.
In the UK, during year 11 you’ll do your GCSEs. Once you’ve done your GCSEs, you can take a few different paths in your life. Generally if you’re trying to go to university you’ll then go to college for your A levels.
At A-levels you’ll take 3-4 subjects. This is your year 12 and 13.
Once you’ve done your A-levels you’ll go to university, which for a bachelors is generally 3 years.
