Go visit the eDx.org portal which is a consortium of top colleges both American and International. There you will find many AP offerings. Most are free if you just want to audit them. If you want a certificate of completion, you pay between $49 and $169 depending on the length of the course and who is teaching it. Most of them are self-paced so you can start today or tomorrow and access the course anytime you want. There are quizzes and tests. If you audit, then you have to finish the course in a set time. If you pay, you have a like a year or so. I've done a few and they are really good if you don't mind learning watching videos and pdf texts. You don't get a text book.

You also have to pay to take the test but as you are a freshman you don’t really have to worry about it. Also can you please do normal capitalization with your questions? Thanks!

how would you mention that you self studied for AP Exams on college apps? Would they just known by the fact that I reported the score but don't have the class or do I have to mention it directly?

This is actually not true some states have online credit options for high school students. For example, I live in Florida and it's actually a graduation requirement that every student completes an online course on Florida Virtual School. All the courses offered are for credit and go on my transcript and I take the AP exam. I've taken PE and honors Spanish in the past and this summer I'm taking AP Computer Science. I'm a regular public school student and it's a great option for extra credits.

The courses in the virtual school I just mentioned can also be taken year-round so although I tend to take them over the summer, I can take them during the school year as well.

I live in Florida and we have Florida Virtual School and basically I can take an AP class (or honors or anything else) there for free and it goes on my transcript and I take the test. I suggest you check to see if your state has one. If not, FLVS lets non-residents take courses but it costs money to do so. It would go on your transcript (I think, I'm not sure for non-residents) so it may be worth it since colleges could see it and it would help your GPA. You can also do self-study and just take the test. This is a good option since you would have a score to show colleges but it won't help your GPA.

So does FLVS allow non-residents? and in what range would it cost. I am actually in Canada.

@Mysterysquash4 years ago

Yes, it's called FLVS Global. I'm not sure exactly how much it costs but as far as I know it can be pretty expensive. It suggests you speak to a representative about price and there might be financial aid options as well,l I'm not sure.
