I need help on ONLY #2 and #4, I just added the rest in so that you can understand the context. In my online Japanese class, we have to submit an audio recording of us answering these questions:

1. O-namae-wa?
2. Nansai-desu-ka?
3. Daigakusei-desu-ka?
4. Nan-nensei desu-ka?
5. Gakou-wa douko-desu-ka?

(Sorry they're all in Romanji, I only know how to write them in Hiragana and Romanji.)
So, is #2 asking for what school year I'm in? If so, do I only answer with "ichi-nensei" (since that's my year)? Or would it be "ichi-nensei-desu" or something along those lines?

And do I answer #4 with "koukousei", "koukousei-desu", or will I completely say "koukousei ichi-nensei"?

Sorry if I made an error, I will change anything I need to. Thank you in advance. :)
 
#2 is asking for your age, and #4 is asking what grade you are in. I am sure others will help you more. My Japanese is limited. I believe answering with ichi-nensei-desu would be correct.
 
Notice that the question #3 is asking if you are a college student or not. If you say "yes" to this question, i.e., if you are a college student, it's OK just to answer "ichinensei desu" to #4. However, you are a high school student(right?), so you need to clarify it. Thus, the correct answer to #4 is "Kōkō/Koukou ichinensei desu." If you answer "Iie. Kōkōsei/Koukousei desu" to #3, "Ichinensei desu" is acceptable to #4.
