Nope, A levels are MUCH tougher than SAT's. Think SAT II's (since they're subject specific) but much more intensive. Unlike the American education system where everyone can go to college and the weeding out begins during college and not everyone makes it, educational systems that utilize A and O level exams begin the weeding BEFORE college and everybody graduates. I'm fairly sure that's how it works. What I am sure about though is that most high school students in the states would fail A levels.
