What can we do if my high school does it offer AP exams or honour classes.
Answered

What can I do if my high school or my area does not have any AP exam or honor classes. It is there in my country but we have to travel a long with your means to another state and exam is also costly like means we have to give something like 5 to 6 AP exams along with the cost of travelling it will be 2 months salary of my parents. And with school fees of me and sibling, house expenditure ,loans it's like quite expensive for me.

I am thinking of earning by own like online we don't have part time jobs . How can I earn like digital something. And also please recommend about any alternatives of exams.

Highly recommend online dual enrollment classes with your local community college, as @Lena.422 suggested. But it is not free. You can check and see if the community college offers any scholarships to high school dual enrollment students. If not, then don't worry. Your college application will have a place where you can state the facts-your school does not offer AP and honors, plus you could not financially afford dual enrollment classes-and they will respect that. Just be sure to state the facts truthfully without a long-winded or "complaining" explanation...both can turn colleges off.

Hi there,

One thing I could suggest, it's not AP or IB courses but if you have a community college somewhere near your or further away (depends on the college) you could take college classes online and (in my experience) most of the classes offered by community colleges are free or very low cost to high school students. That is something I would definitely recommend checking out. Most colleges recognize previously earned college credit and it stands out just as much if not more that AP class credits.

I enroll myself in some free online courses. Is that fine?

Yeah online courses show colleges that even though you can't take APs you are still going out of your way to get higher levels of academic learning.
