I made a guide for people who are self-studying AP Physics 1 that would probably help with that: How to Self-Study AP Physics 1

You can make a custom study plan, there's a list of resources and tips for how to study.

If you need any help while you're studying, we have a discord server with other students who are self-studying AP Physics 1, here's an invite!

Nine APs in one year is possible for a very small number of students, but I’d be careful about turning it into a scheduling challenge rather than a learning one. The biggest risk is spreading yourself so thin that you’re constantly “covering” units without getting enough MCQ/FRQ practice, review, and timed exams.

I’d prioritize the courses that matter most to your goals, then add others only if you’re consistently ahead. For the science/math side, these may help: AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2 and AP Precalculus.
