Legendofandrey, your location is listed as Virginia, right?

Well, perhaps I can offer some help.

Go to your guidance counselor and ask about Virtual Virginia. It is on the Department of Education's website. There is a one-half credit course for SAT Prep. I cannot tell you the cost. But maybe your high school will pick up the cost. Mine did for one of my students.

Next, if your HS is limited with AP classes, consider taking one with Virtual VA. The state pays for your AP tests. My son, who is a junior, is taking two classes this year (after doing one AP as a sophomore). He signed up for two or three more next year. Our school has just 390 students, so course selection is limited.

More than 3,000 students are in the program. And it covers kids in 16 states and at at least one Central American high school.

Also, Virtual VA offers great counseling to its students. Take a look at the site and see if it can work for you.

I cannot help with advice about fancy programs, because I, as a teacher, cannot afford them. But talk to a guidance counselor. He might know of other local programs that cost nothing and are available.

Good luck.
