oh i also forgot, all american and american curriculum-following universities (i presume AUK is American University of Kuwait yusef?) do not require A levels, and yea ur ryte its better to do A levels, but think of this: Would you rather waste two extra years in school or have a hard time in college but finish two years earlier than people who take A levels? no correct answer, it just depends on who you are and whether you parents actually give you a choice (mine didn't give me, they just said: "We are not letting you waste two years of your life for nothin")
