<p>I live in Florida and will most likely be taking at least one AP without taking a class. I will also be taking an AP class on FLVS (Florida Virtual School). </p>
<p>Does the state pay for both tests, one, or neither, seeing as I am not in the course for the AP Exam? </p>
<p>Also, what happens if you are the only student in your school to be taking a specific AP exam? Do you go to a nearby school that offers the course and exam, or take it at your school at the designated time (i.e., May 12 at afternoon, etc.) with only you and your proctor in the auditorium?</p>
<p>Talk to your AP Coordinator about both of your questions (or if your schools has no AP Coordinator, talk to guidance counselors or maybe even vice principals or principal). I’m not sure about the answer to your first question (I live in CA) but for your second question, it depends on what your school decides. Will it provide a room and proctor for you or will it arrange for you to test at a nearby school?</p>
<p>The State of Florida pays for all AP tests you take at school and on FLVS, self-study may be different, your guidance counselor would have you tell you if that is covered.</p>
<p>I think you would take the test in a nearby school but i am not sure. Does taking on line courses look good on college apps and does it affect your gpa? Sorry for posting this here but I just had these questions. </p>
<p>My son took three AP tests after self-studying (in addition to 14 AP classes and tests over four years). He did not pay any test fees, and took all 17 tests at his high school.</p>
<p>You’ll have to check with your own school as to whether any online course grades may count toward your GPA; I’d say usually not, however.</p>
<p>Regardless, anything you do to challenge yourself will enhance your application.</p>
<p>Your high school will determine if an online class counts on your GPA. Since my school district has an online school, any class taken there is calculated onto my high school GPA.</p>
