This site helps you come up with a list of songs that use the intervals you need to be able to hear, via several different genres. Make your own interval playlist, because you'll need to be able to hear them and sing them!
MusicTheory.net has lots of exercises to practice with, some tutorials, and tools like downloadable staff paper. Make sure to customize the tools if they seem too easy at first...
Teoria also has lots of great exercises and some really good tutorials. Sometimes they use slightly different terminology than we do in class, but you'll be able to figure it out.
Impressive Online Study Guide!
I just found this online recently - it's a huge 50+ page PDF document, but it has a LOT of good information. The last several pages go beyond what we'll even cover in this course. Good stuff!
NoteFlight is a web-based program similar to Finale or Sibelius. If you create a free account you can save your work and come back to it later. I am a Finale user myself, so I can't help you trouble-shoot it very much, but lots of kids have told me that it's very intuitive and easy to use. I know you can also export your work to a MIDI file, and then import that into Finale if you wish. Go write some music! :)

Yes, some cost money. Search for ear training or music theory in your play store and see what pops up! Lots of free apps. Some are good. Some are not. Read the reviews. It is good practice for your future life purchases. REVIEWS matter!
