Hey everyone! I've been planning to take a few AP classes online due to schedule clashes. Anyone here has experience with online AP classes? Any recommendations on where I can take some good, structured, and engaging ones? Preferably ones that are known to adequately prepare students for the exams. Thanks!
Response: There are several effective resources for online learning where you can take AP classes. The options vary from structured classes with instructors to self-paced courses.
One popular resource for high-school students is Khan Academy. While Khan Academy doesn't offer formal AP courses, they do provide comprehensive materials for AP subjects that align well with the curriculum. You can study at your own pace, and their resources are free.
Another platform you might want to consider is EdX. EdX partners with many colleges and organizations to provide a variety of courses, including AP. They offer structured courses for a variety of AP subjects. EdX tends to have a more college-style teaching method, which you might find engaging.
Schools like Johns Hopkins and Stanford also offer online AP classes. However, those are generally paid programs and might be more expensive compared to other platforms.
Remember, the key to doing well in AP exams is not just understanding the course material, but also being familiar with the format of the exams. So, make sure that whatever resource you decide to use provides not just lessons, but also plenty of practice tests and quizzes.
Hope this helps! Good luck with your studying!
