This is normally the credit received in US colleges

: May be, but that's not what you are supposed to state on the translation. The equivalency is not up to you to decide.

In England
They are called 'A' Levels
They are normally taken at the end of a 2 year 6th year course, either at school or college.
You need the grades (UCAS points) to gain entry into higher education (University). It used to be the norm to take maybe 2/3/4 (if you were extremely intelligent), but the government introduced a new system where the 2 year course is split into A2/AS, and it is now the norm to start off with 4 or 5 subjects making it close to the European system.

high school graduation
Abiturprüfung = high school exam
Abiturzeugnis = high school diploma
Just "Abitur" means either the graduation itself or the exam (without saying "graduation"), depending on the context.
