Ap Exams when Im in A-Levels ?

Im an international students, currently pursuing a levels in a college or pre-u here in my country for a duration of 1 and a half years. My dream has always been to continue my studies later on in the states. I hv already sat for my sats and will continue to retake later as well as the subject tests. Now, wondering if I still should sit for AP exams. ,I’ve consulted a few counsellors but the feedback I received have always been quite similar which is that I shouldnt waste my time on AP’s when I’m already sitting for my a levels. Tbh, I’m quite keen on the AP’s but you know…wouldnt want to make my parents fork out more although they’re totally okay with it, trying to save as much as possible hahaha ;D . So, I would love to hear some opinions and thanks for taking your time reading this thankssss :slight_smile:
