I’m just really effin’ confused. So, I’ve completed my O Levels in Pakistan though my results have yet to come (only a week to go) and I’ve moved to America due to some family issues. I’m giving my SAT in January and will apply for college straight after that. But the thing that I’m still confused if i would still fulfill the requirements to get into a good college, or even a college at least. Most colleges make it mandatory to have 12 years of school education, though i’m not sure if Pre-K and K fall into those years.

For those of you who don’t know, O Levels is a British secondary education system which spans Grades IX, X and XII, after which you can opt for A Levels which is a two-year pre-U course, but some people consider A Levels being the end of secondary education, while I, myself am not sure.

I wanted to do A Levels after O Levels but since I’m now in America and you can’t study or sit for your A Levels here, I’m not really sure what to do next, other than giving my SAT. Am I technically done with school or would I have to go to high school for 12th Grade?
