I’m actually going to disagree with @collegemom3717. I think that if you have a genuine interest in subjects like Computer Science and it’s financially doable to pay for the tests, go ahead and explore your passion. Of course, if you’re self-studying classes you’re not interested in for the sake of college apps, I would advise you to stop, it really sucks and you won’t get anything out of it.

That being said, I would suggest the AP Computer Sciences and maybe AP Statistics or AP Calculus if you have a teacher that could help you. I’ve heard of kids who take a general high school class like Biology then just study a bit and take the AP test if their school doesn’t offer the class. Your mileage will vary but maybe this’ll work for you if you MUST take the AP test.
