Help picking an online AP class provider...

I just want to get some opinions about all the options out there, especially for my situation…

I’m a graduated high school student and I’m taking a gap year before college to study in germany on a scholarship through YFU. I wanted to take AP classes to prep for college, and also to kind of keep my head straight through the confusion of learning a foreign language. My german classes don’t count as credit for me, and grades are based on participation and test scores. Homework is rarely given, so I’m going to have plenty of free time.

I was wondering who took online AP classes and the exams as well. Who was your provider? How was your experience with them? Did you get a lot out of them? How well do you feel they prepared for the exam? About what was the cost of the course (not counting text books)? Please go into detail about what you liked, didn’t like, and your experience overall.

While I can make deadlines easily, it would be great to have a flexible instructor because of the time difference and getting used to my new country. =)

In case it helps, I’m looking to take any of these classes:
-Art history
-Euro history
-World history
-Macro Econ (not so sure about this one)
-Psychology
