<p>Feel free to skip to the actual questions, but here's a little background: </p>
<p>I am currently attending a high school in New Jersey as a sophomore. The school offers a total of 6, maybe 7 AP classes. (Sometimes, they offer an AP course online, but this is rare.) I can really only take AP Biology next year as a junior, as to take APUSH, you must have taken both courses of US History, to take AP Calculus, you must have taken regular Calculus, and the same applies with the other three AP classes offered. So by this, if I were to want to take all AP classes, I'd have to take AP Biology my junior year, and the other 5 courses senior year, which is a serious workload and kind of impossible for a schedule. I don't mind losing my lunch periods, but along with those 5 classes, I would have a language, World Literature, and my major (which would take up two class periods) and gym.</p>
<p>That said, as of right now, I would like to take as many AP classes as I can in high school. But I would not want to have 5 AP courses all in one school year, so I'd like to spread out a decent amount of classes between now (and if that's too late, then perhaps next summer) and the end of senior year. So my questions are as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>If I take an AP course online, would it count towards my credits and/or GPA? If yes, would the same apply if I take an AP course online that is not offered by or at my school?</p></li>
<li><p>If I take an AP course online that is not offered by or at my school, where would I take the Advanced Placement Exam? Would this also be online?</p></li>
<li><p>How many AP classes do you think the average person can handle in one year/summer?</p></li>
<li><p>What AP courses are best to take online? I definitely don't want to learn AP Calc or Physics through a computer.</p></li>
<li><p>If I were to take an AP course online, what site(s) would you recommend I use?</p></li>
<li><p>Alternatively, should I not take AP classes offered by my school online and instead take the regular class online? (For example, instead of taking AP Chemistry online, take regular Chemistry online or over the summer and then take AP Chemistry in school the following school year.)</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Sorry for all the questions in one shot; any comments, suggestions, or experiences would be greatly appreciated! :)</p>
