It depends where you want to go to College I suppose.

All three are regarded highly globally, however I'd say the Leaving cert is the one that'd be the least known globally of the three.

The Leaving Cert requires you to do at least 6 subjects, whereas the A-Levels require you only to do 3 (as far as I know). The SAT requires you to do an overall SAT in English, Writing and Maths, but also has SATs in different subjects too. So really, I suppose it all comes down to what you're interested in using the exams for and what you'd feel most comfortable doing.

2, I think that's the SATs though.

I don't know anything about ACTs really.
