How did you pay last year? Were you eligible for a fee waiver? The rules for waivers are available here:

Even if you are not enrolled in a brick&mortar school, you still need a school to administer your tests, unless the online school is finding a test site for you? If you do not have a test site yet, you should work on that immediately after Christmas break! Not only do you need them to order your tests and save a spot for you for the exams, but process any fee waiver you qualify for.

If you do not find a way to take the tests, just explain what happened on your application. Obviously, an AP class backed up by a test score would be better, but at least you took the most challenging courses you could.
