Applying to UK universities from US school system

We are a British family but moved to the States when DS was a baby. He is just entering high school here in the US so is starting to consider his options for university, and studying in the UK, Ireland or elsewhere in Europe are all on the table for now.

My question is about the criteria that British universities use when looking at an application received from a kid from the States. Over here has the option to sit the SAT or ACT, plus there seems to be a lot of pressure at his school to take several AP courses. Do British universities care about these? Do they prefer the SAT or ACT? What else should we be aware of when applying from the US?

Would love to heat from anyone with experience of applying from the US, or anyone who works in the Admissions office of a UK university! Thank you!
