The words "level" and "form"

Hi. I believe the word "level" to mean ability is countable, but I see sentences where it seems to be treated as uncountable, as in "They remained at low level" (I'm not sure the sentence is correct or not). Why is that? It seems to be the same with the word "form" used in grammar, as in "It is in present form" (Again, I'm not sure the sentence is correct or not). Thank you in advance for your help.

Anonymous "They remained at low level" I would use an a here (at a low level). The confusion possibly arises from the fact that we sometimes say things such as at international level, but the two examples are semantically different. Anonymous "It is in present form" When form is used to mean tense, then it can often be used as either a countable or uncountable noun.
