For starters, I wouldn’t self-study 19 AP tests. Taking the class in school would be more beneficial in many respects.
Secondly, I wouldn’t start a new thread on the subject without reviewing the many many tim es this question has been asked. e.g.

It’s for a friend of mine; his parents don’t let him post stuff on social media, and is planning on taking these courses throughout high school. Our school has really tough teachers and standards to get an A, and he is currently in 9th grade, studying for AP Biology.
Avoiding the AP classes offered at the school and studying them himself to avoid tough teachers is a terrible idea.
In which case, I’m closing this thread. “Asking for a Friend” posts are not allowed.
