<p>Okay so right now I am doing 4 AP Classes and 2 Honors. However I also want to self-study AP Economics Macro and Micro. </p>
<p>I was thinking of switching one honors class for a class called Advanced Studies, Here is the description:
Advanced Studies is a rigorous course focusing on the development of
college-level research study and analysis skills, preparation of a
professional work for publication related to the students eventual career
interest, or the successful completion of high level university coursework
related to the students eventual academic focus. Students enrolled in
Advanced Studies will have the option to create independent research
projects or engage in college courses of a level beyond that offered as a
regular part of district curriculum. Students choosing the independent
research project option will formulate a detailed research proposal and
project of significant academic or intellectual interest, arrange a faculty
advisory committee to guide research and analysis, show evidence of
thorough research and analysis of the research topic, and make a
formal presentation of research results involving the advanced use of
technology or submit the results for professional publication. Students
choosing the advanced studies option will pursue studies in advanced
university-level curricula offered at a post-secondary institution, e.g.
ASU. Students enrolled in this course will also be expected to meet
periodically in small groups to present and discuss issues related to
their research or coursework. [Board Adopted 2002]<a href="May%20be%20repeated%20for%20credit">Board Revised

Prerequisites: Counselor/Gifted Coordinator approval or science
teacher approval; minimum age 16

research, meetings, field trips, presentations, competitions, etc.
Degree of Difficulty: Challenging; students must have time and
motivation to complete requirements outside of the regular school

<p>Do you think I could take an economics class for an online university and that would count as advanced studies and also help me prepare for the ap test???</p>
