Main quest and levelling. Am I at the expected level?

I'm level 18 and I've just completed Alduin's wall. What level should I supposed to be at this point?

What is the expected level at the different stages of main quest?

That's not really how Skyrim works, you can really be any level. There are no expectations like that, the game scales with your level.

At the notes it says this,

Some higher-level characters may find it less than a challenge to kill Alduin, even on master difficulty. This can lead to the whole confrontation feeling a little anti-climactic. As such, it is suggested that players be sure to enter Sovngarde no later than level 35 if they value the story (Suggested level in the Official Guide is 24).

And that's for the last part of the main quest-line.

I'm level 15 now and am halfway through the Elder knowledge quest. This was all very do-able.

I don't think that the game scales with your level answer is correct since for example i can't get passed the kill the silverhand leader quest, and i tried like 10 times, but i keep getting insta killed by a guy. I've also read somewhere that for some quests to become available there's a level requirement.

i'm at the part where you gotta capture a dragon in dragonsreach (one of the last quests) at level 3 so, it doesnt matter what level you are, IMO if you are 15+ the main quest should be easier than a lower level. The higher level you are, the harder the monsters get. ^^ gl with skyrim!! awesome game :D
