Here's a link to a demo of a self-paced class.

When you do an AoPS Online class, you use the book and do Alcumus just like you would without the class, so the class is just *more*.

My boys do the live classes, so no direct experience with self-paced classes, but one of the main advantages for my kids has been the writing/proof problems and the feedback given on those, which you get in either variety of AoPS Online class. Communicating mathematically is something I want to emphasize. Also, in our experience, the classes are more challenging than just working from the textbook.

thanks so much for the demo link, I had no idea that was there! 

very interesting. I wonder if anyone who's done the self paced has felt it was worthwhile. I wish there were daytime slots for the live classes. then again, I'd worry about whether my son could keep up.

Ds13 did some of both of the test versions.  He liked the second version which I assume is similar to the final version.  It requires a lot of time though.  Ds is gifted in maths and likes it but he didn't want to spend 90 minutes a day.

DS11 is taking prealgebra2 right now online, and the class is 4-5:15pm. The later classes would have been too late for us, too. It's too bad if they don't continue to offer the earlier classes!
