Is it too late to start studying for the AP exam?

It's always possible to improve your grade, even if you have just a week left. If you have a month left and are really willing to commit, you can still get a 5.

However, you can't just study haphazardly - you need a plan.

First, if you're behind, you need to actually go back to the last thing you truly understand - where you can actually solve problems without any outside help. If you don't do that, you'll be banging your head against the wall trying to do work you're not prepared for. If you sign up for PhysicsGraph, we use a diagnostic test to understand where you are at a very fine-grained level, so you don't waste time re-learning topics you already know.

Second, you need a strict study schedule. If you set the completion date as May 12th, we'll tell you how much XP you need to earn per day in order to complete the course and get a 5 on the AP exam. This includes reviews, FRQs, and practice exams.

Third, you need to practice the test format. FRQs in particular are a challenge for students who don't study specifically for the test.

You can still make a lot of progress in the time that you have left. If you join PhysicsGraph, we can help.
