You need to take SAT or ACT whichever the university recommends. If more queries ask now.

Give the SAT exam which is needed to enter any university of U S A (excluding some), or like master key said, ACT.

That may depend on the university you're applying. :-[

But most if not all universities in the USA ask for SAT (http://sat.collegeboard.com/home). So i'll advice you to sit for SAT1 and SAT2. It's syllabus is not like A-levels but you'll be able to cope with it easily especially for your subjects.
You may sit for it during your holidays after your exams or even before. If you want to register for SAT, click here (http://sat.collegeboard.com/register). :D

Here are some info you might necessary :

As for the subjects, I think that Maths, Physics and Chemistry should be enough. Biology would also be a plus for you. :)

Most universities recommend MATHS, SAT REASONING TEST and two sat subjects test. These two are optional.

No problem dude :)

It might be just enough for some universities but still it would be wise to do both Physics and Maths completely. I mean A2 as well.

Together they'll help you get a seat in the most prestigious universities there. ;)

I did 8 O-levels..................and now i've just completed 3 complete A-levels along with 2 AS.

I understand 3 Alevels are enough................but I think it's 3 complete A-levels meaning A2 and AS ;)

It's not about time dude, more of having the will to achieve your goals. ;D
