✔ 最佳答案
1. Yes - it will help only when your SAT Subject Test in Mathematics Level 1/2 is higher than SAT reasoning test.
2. Yes - AP, in some ways, is equivalent to IB, GCE A-Level and HKALE.
3. AP are both exams and courses. Colleges use in-school performances to determine admission.
Also, in a majority of the cases, due to the design of high school system in the U.S., a lot of students have some AP exams ready when they submit the application.
4. No.
My advice is simple - even your HKALE result met the minimum requirement for a UGC program, you should look into community college instead. Due to grading system difference, basically, if your in-school result is not As and Bs (HKALE result 5 or above), it will be extremely difficult for you to get admission based on test scores only.
