One issue is that Rosetta Stone uses the immersion method, where you don't memorize word lists and verb forms or anything like that; you're shown pictures of things and actions, and are given the French with no translation. For someone wanting to speak the language, it's probably a quicker way to learn things, but it may be tough to pass a test where they may drill you on all the forms of a verb in different tenses. But, how much does it cost to take an AP test? Compare that to the cost of a college course - it's probably worth trying. You could try it.

I don't see why you couldn't. And it's strange that your school doesn't offer French, but they have AP French. Possibly, but it will be hard. I don't see why you couldn't.

Make sure grammar is also covered. Probably, but make sure that the software has speaking exercises because there is a speaking section on the AP exam. Make sure grammar is also covered.
