Taking AP exams where there's no knowledge of it?

Hi… In my region, there’s no knowledge on what AP examinations are due to the ignorant state of education. Therefore, there’s no tuition classes, no AP courses, no prep books and so. The examinations are available thanks to the diplomatic education relation between my country and the US.
I have no idea how the exams would be like, and i’m cut off from internet deals to buy some prep books online. I’m currently top in my class, and could possibly be taking either the ib or the a levels… So is the curriculum in ib or a levels enough? Is this a wise choice to take the exams?
I saw many threads in many forums that displayed how high top universities look upon AP examinations. I’m targeting for the Ivy Leagues.
Thanks in advance.
