Don't think so, I think I remember reading that David Cameron took an Economics A-level to make the press happy, and there are plenty of adults who take them. There's also a guy from the US in my year who will be 19 when he takes his A2's.

I was really worried about that

You can take them at any age, although funding can be an issue if you already have Level 3 qualifications.

What's Level 3 Qualifications?

In essence, you'll have to speak to your college about funding if you already have qualifications that are above GCSE level.

There is no age limit to pass A level exams. I've seen an external/private candidate sitting exams, she must have been in her 60s. Never "too old" or too late to learn

If you were under the age of 19 when you started A-Levels then you should normally be funded = the school / college will pay for your exams.
If you had been over 19 when you started A-Levels you might have had to pay for exam entries yourself (depends a bit on circumstances / school / college).

I'm in a situation where, if I don't get into uni this year I want to try again this year. I'd like to take an AS and A2 at the same time to get the full A level in one year. How does this work? Who do I talk to and what steps do I take?

You'll be able to do it but you might have to pay. but maybe not if you haven't already got a-levels or equivilent. That's why people can only do three years of 6th form as by the 4th they'd be over 19 and either have some (poor) a-levels or if they'd failed 3 times, the 6th form is unlikely to want them back again.

I am 15 right now, and I either want to do IBDP or A-level. I want to know about the age restriction for A level? Can someone please help me out?

There arent any. You may need to have the GCSE at a certain grade before some schools will let you enrol.
