Confusing about entrance requirements

Hi, I'm a 11th grade student in Vietnam. Studying at the University of Oxford is always my dream and I'm working toward it. There is a problem is that in most Vietnamese schools we don't learn A-level courses while Oxford's entrance requirements is AAA. Where can I learn A-level and take A-level test? And the "Entrance requirements: AAA" means I can choose any 3 courses?

I’m also a student in Turkey whose dream is to study at Cambridge and from the things I learned, I can give a little info. So my school also doesn’t offer A levels but there are online options that probably I’m going to consider. Sites like oxbridge or home school learning offers 2 year access with online tutors and e-books and their price for one single lesson is between 595-735£. You need to at least take three of these A levels and the entry requirements (ex. AAA) tells you that from the three lessons you chose, you need to get at least A from each of them. So the each letter represents an A level’s minimum grade. A* is the maximum which is counted between 90-100, and A is 80-90. Hope this could help, I’m also really new to UK’s cirriculum.

Read International qualifications | University of Oxford - Vietnamese Tot Nghiep Pho Thong Trung Hoc (Upper Secondary School Graduation Certificate) is not accept by Oxford (and other UK Universities).

There will be International Schools or British Schools in Vietnam where you can take either IB or A levels - but these will be private schools/expensive.

Each University course will have specific subjects required - this will be stated on each course page on the Oxford website - A-Z of courses | University of Oxford

Tks for the reply! Is there any other way I can prove to the University of Oxford my academic ability? I'm realized that most of the qualifications they listed on the website are either don't teach in Vietnam or teach in the private school. They mentioned about it in the "Transfer to Oxford when studying outside the UK" but still leave me confused.
