At least at Cambridge, the A levels/AP/IB are a box to check off in order to get an interview, which around 30% of applicants get. I would submit both if possible, and ask Cambridge which they prefer if not.

I had an unconditional offer in the early 90s. No APs, I was taking A leavels later that year. But I was a very exceptional individual. I have, however, wasted my potential on dcum and TikTok.
