Where might I find an online source to learn more about RAST testing and levels of sensitivity?

Question

For example, if someone is have a level 4 allergy to peanuts, it is severe. But, a level 2 to dust mites is moderate. I think there are 5 levels.

I am trying to learn more about the test results before seeing the physician on Monday so I can ask intelligent questions!

Thanks in advance.
