''However, the A.O.P. transcript together with SAT score is recognised by most private local and foreign colleges and universities.'' I clearly disagree with this. Some colleges here in the US, dont recognize the certs given by AOP, unless if they have completed their grade 12. Apart from that, here no one recognizes your certs given.
