Yes, you can be tested for Asperger's at 14, or any age. There are online tests, but receiving a low score on them doesn't necessarily mean you don't have Asperger's, it could just mean that you don't fit the stereotype of the geeky, socially phobic, introverted Aspie. It's entirely possible to be tested by a psychologist, but I strongly recommend reading as much as you can on Asperger's before you try for a diagnosis, because a lot of psychiatric professionals don't know anything about Asperger's and will claim that you can't have Asperger's if you can read or make facial expressions.
I recommend reading things by Aspies and autistics (there's really not any useful difference between the two labels) and seeing whether you relate to their experiences, method of thinking and perceiving, etc. If you need accommodations in school, then go to a psychiatrist or psychologist for testing, but make sure to be well-educated on Asperger's so that you can refute any of their more bizarre claims about why you can't have AS.
