<p>Just to chime in with my D's experience - I understood that the OP will be taking the AP courses over the internet. My D took AP Bio over the internet in a "virtual high school" last year. She was supported by her school and an online teacher through the online high school. Both she and the online teacher found the online lab science to be very frustrating. It is very hard to do labs "online". Actually, she did the labs at home, prepared lab reports, etc to submit to the online teacher. She had a teacher at her school to provide assistance. </p>
<p>She was very unsatisfied with her experience and would not recommend anyone take a lab science over the intenet. She feels lab sciences are best taken in a classroom/real lab situation.</p>
