In fact what is the major differences in level 7 to 6 (if any)?

In general you'll likely be appointed to slightly better / more challenging games

I also think (though could be wrong) that you're marked on tougher criteria during assessments.

Is that why your mum christened your middle name Isiah? Because one eyes-higher than the other

Good luck Zaza... 3rd time lucky!!

Applied and payed can't wait to start the process seems very daunting

Don’t worry yourself, 7-6 is just a normal season. Do your games as you usually would, any assessments you’ll be prewarned about it so you’ve got time to triple check everything before the game. LOTG test I was in a room of about 25 people, everybody passed.

Thanks mate

None that I noticed.

I started getting a few more "cheeky" games, but that could just be down to having amassed more experience and having proven myself over previous seasons than specifically to do with getting my level 6.

Depending how your county works you may find yourself getting some more county cup games, and also the possibility of being appointed to the early stages of things like the youth FA cup etc, but that will depend on where you live and whether there are any competing teams local to you
