If you’re in high school, take a look at EdX High School Courses: Get College Ready. Get Ahead. Get Learning! They “offer specially designed courses from top high schools, secondary schools and universities to help you prepare for Advanced Placement (AP®) Exams and CLEP® Exams, as well as introductory-level courses to help you get ahead of the game.

You can use the courses to help prepare for the AP and CLEP exams, but also to get a taste of what it would be like to study at a potential university or to help choose what subject you want to study.

UK-based MOOC platform, Futurelearn, also has a “Going to University” collection of courses which allow you to “Try out new subjects, write a great university application and get ready for university study.” See Going to University - Free Online Courses - FutureLearn

You can take these courses free of charge. On EdX, you can choose to pay for a Verified Certificate which usually costs between approx $30 USD and $80USD. Futurelearn offers an optional course upgrade which gives you unlimited access to the course, includes peer reviews, tests and a Certificate of Achievement usually for £30-£40 GBP.

Hope that helps :)
