<p>How does anyone who knows about or has taken A-levels and seen or taken SAT II's think these two groupings of exams compare?</p>
<p>I think A-Levels correspond more to the AP exams than the SAT II exams. I've "heard" (note the "heard") that 3 A's on the A-Levels = five 5's on AP exams.</p>

<p>From Oxford University's web site:</p>
<p>Though there are no formal requirements, successful candidates would generally have an excellent High School record, supplemented by: </p>
<ul>
<li>Scores of at least 700 in Verbal and 700 in Math in SAT I (or 1400+ combined)(Or ACT with a score of at least 32 out of 36) </li>
</ul>
<p>We would also expect: </p>
<ul>
<li>SAT II in a good spread of three or four subjects at 700 or better; </li>
<li>Or, preferably, grades 4 or 5 in two or more Advanced Placement tests in appropriate subjects </li>
<li>Alternatively, a mixture of SAT II and Advanced Placement scores; both should be at the levels indicated above.</li>
</ul>
<p>To compare, Oxford University (to the best of my knowledge) expects A Level grades in the AAA range for most subjects, probably with a further A in a subject studied only at AS Level.</p>
<hr>
<p>MY GCSE EXAMS ARE OVER!
AS Level Choices: French, Geography, German, History & Maths (Pure) </p>
<p>A Levels are way harder than AP exams, let alone SAT IIs.</p>
<p>Someone post an AS question, an A2 question, an old A-level, an AP (essay)question, and a SAT II (essay) question.</p>
