please check collegeboard.com for information on APs and there is no age limit, its really advanced stuff..prolly more than A levels ..i assumed this by having a look at Ap books and it would be wise to give APs if you are planning for a uni in states or canada. You can skip freshman courses in university if you have enough credits

The A Levels are much more complicated than the AP examinations. Basically, AP means you're doing college-level work in high school. You have to be under 21 to take the examinations. There are plenty of AP resources online to help you with the lab work in the Sciences and other things too. AP raises your standard in the eyes of the college admissions specialist looking at your applications. However, three AP credits(three courses) are equal to one A- Level credit in England.

AP gets you into a lot of places, not just America, or Canada. AP scores can translate into extra college credits, scholarships and even saving a year of higher education (college). A Levels are just as good as well, though...perhaps a little more in-depth.

And there really isn't an American Examination Board. An A* in Ohio isn't the same as an A* in Pennsylvania. That's why we have standardized examinations, like the SAT.
