if you are smart, and a quick learner (and good at self-teaching), you can do it. My son takes it through a virtual course designed for the whole school year (2 semesters) but his program is a lot of busy work. He already knew Java going in. But he does think a smart kid that picks stuff up quickly could self-teach it between now and May. Good luck!

PS> I would not do the gap year just for AP CS! There are summer classes you can take at universities and comm colleges, and even prep schools and camps, that are similar. It is basially just one way to learn Java.
