I am 15, and I studied and managed to understand all the content in it. I wanted to know if I can take it and how can it help me?

Thank you!

You need to be in your last year of an undergraduate university degree to sit for the Level I exam.

15 and understand the content? Great job!

You’re on the right way if you already at 15 know what you want. Keep going and all barierrs will disappear as time goes by, you will reach your goal.
