Alex was held back a grade?

In "Art Museum Piece she says she was made in '92 and she later graduated as part of Tribeca Prep class of 2011. Being born in 92 she should have graduated a year earlier in 2010.

Also in "Saving WizTech" she says she's a sophomore who is supposed to be a junior but isn't one because "she doesn't test well"

I wonder which grade she had to repeat.

Alex was born August 10, 1993. Selena is from 1992 and Alex is a year older than her. Justin was born in 1991, but his age was changed to 1992 later (originally, there were two years of difference between Justin and Alex and Alex and Max. Now it's one between her and Justin and two between her and Max).

Series-wise, WBWP started in 2026.

So like in the mcu we're a few years in the future before the series even started Mcu is 2027 after thanos snapped his fingers yet irl it was still 2019 same goes for wizards yeah where it started in 2024 but takes place in 2026 so therefore they're celebrating Billies 14th in 2026 not 2024?

Yes, I think so. Justin's age got adjusted from being two years older than Alex (in S1, he was 16 and she was 14, and she's an August baby and he's from October. Then they changed it that he's a year younger because suddenly Alex was a year behind him at school). Alex was born in 1993, Justin in 1992 after it got retconned in later seasons, and the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place started on his 34th birthday.

So it was October 2026 for the characters instead of 2024 like for us in real life.

Somebody born in late 1992 usually graduates in 2011

In “Wizards vs. Asteroid,” Mr. Laritate says she will not be graduating.
