I want to compare the stuff you're doing to the stuff I'm doing for my Leaving Cert.
Well, I'm sure you've taken Pre-Calculus then. It'll teach you to look at graphs and such, and you should know what an asymtote is(I remember one of my co-students always liked to say "Can you say what an 'ass-symtote' is again?"). It's hard to tell you what kind of problems to expect if you haven't taken the class yet.

But in colleges in the US, 100 level math classes are generally math classes that are entry level. 400-level classes are the highest undergraduate-non-honors- classes that one can take before getting their degree.
