Self-study v. online school

<p>I'm using a free online school through my regular school to take a couple of courses, but I'm beginning to wonder whether it's worth the extra stress or if I can just take the tests without some of the courses...
(I have two years left, and I'm not sure how many I should take with my courseload pretty bad as it is for junior year...):</p>

<p>Biology (fee for online; there is an adv. bio at school, but i don't feel like taking 2 science classes in school for 1 year)
Comparative Gov (fee for online; AP US Gov this year)
Euro History (free online; APUSH this year, APWH next year)
Human Geo (in-school full year or fee for online)
Microecon (free online; AP Macro (1 sem) next year)
Spanish (Lang free online; which one to take; can i take the exam after 3/4 years of regular classes?)</p>

<p>What do you think? Could you help me prioritize which courses I should try for? Advice for a newbie self-studyer? (I heard of this idea all of about 15 minutes ago when I was searching for AP stuff and stumbled across this site.) Techncially, I could do Comp. Gov. this year..</p>

<p>(Sorry for reposting this. I wanted to edit a couple of things, but it wouldn't let me back into my post on the big thread for some reason.)</p>

<p>What free online school are you using? It's not this one is it?</p>

<p>Internet</a> Archive: Advanced Placement (AP) Courses from the Monterey Institute for Technology and Education</p>

<p>EDIT: No, it seems you have listed courses that the Monterey Institute does not offer. FLVS or NCVPS?</p>
