Even though im not home schooled I felt like this was the place to put it cause of the people here would probably give me the best answers.

Basically Im in high school doing the IB and my school doesn’t offer comp. science so what I want to do is do the ap test for comp. science in another school but learn everything by myself. Since my IB exams will be overlapping with the AP exam I will not be able to do it next school year so that leaves me with 2 options either do a gap year and do the test then (but im not yet sure if i want to do a gap year) or do it this year (in 5 months). I have no experience learning AP comp sciences but im very interested in computers and therefor know a great deal.
Is it realistic for me to expect a good grade?

P.S. I know im doing the IB as well and thats like suicide but im a hard working student and therefor I do not get scared by extra work.
