Getting Started

MaxYourScore is an AI-powered AP test prep platform covering 40 AP subjects. Every unit has an AI-generated video lesson, a note packet, and a 20-question quiz. Subjects with a written AP exam add full-length practice exams, paid plans add an AI tutor, and a free flashcard tool lets you build and review your own decks.

Click 'Get Started' on the homepage. You can sign up with an email and password or your Google account. You must be at least 13 to create an account.

Yes. Unit 1 of every subject is free with no sign-up: the video lesson, the note packet, and the unit quiz. A free account also saves your progress and includes the flashcard tool. A paid subject unlocks the remaining units, the practice exams, and the AI features.

MaxYourScore works on any device with a modern web browser, including laptops, desktops, tablets, and smartphones. The layout adjusts to the screen size.

Subjects & Content

We cover 40 AP subjects, including AP US History, AP Biology, AP Calculus AB and BC, AP English Language, AP Chemistry, AP Physics, AP Psychology, and AP World History. The full list is on the Subjects page.

Each unit has a review video split into short chapters that cover the unit's key concepts. The narration and visuals are AI-generated. You can change the playback speed and jump between chapters.

Note packets are follow-along study guides that complement each video lesson. They include fill-in-the-blank sections, key terms, and important concepts. An answer key is provided so you can check your work.

Each unit includes a 20-question quiz with AP-style questions. Additionally, each of the 37 subjects with a written AP exam has 5 classic practice exams in an older format, with new 2027-format exams being added, including multiple-choice and free-response sections. AP Latin's are supplementary practice papers in the earlier Latin exam format, and the 3 portfolio-assessed AP Art and Design subjects include portfolio guidance instead.

Units are organized to follow the College Board Course and Exam Description for each subject, and each question is tagged with an AP skill and topic. AP Latin is the exception: its units follow the earlier Vergil and Caesar sequence. The College Board revises courses and exam formats, so check the current Course and Exam Description for your exam.

Subscriptions & Billing

We offer a Free plan (Unit 1 of each subject) and a per-subject paid plan ($7.99/mo or $49.99/yr per subject). You only pay for the AP subjects you actually need. Your first paid subscription starts with a 3-day free trial, once per person.

Yes, you can cancel anytime from your account settings. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period. No cancellation fees or hidden charges.

Yes. Paid plans are $7.99/mo or $49.99/yr per subject, and new subscribers start with a 3-day free trial. Every paid subscription has a 30-day money-back guarantee: if you are not satisfied within 30 days of your initial purchase, you can request a full refund. Every subject except AP 2-D Art and Design, AP 3-D Art and Design, AP Drawing and AP Research also carries our Score Guarantee: complete the subject and score below a 4 on the official AP exam, and we refund every payment for that subject. AP 2-D Art and Design, AP 3-D Art and Design and AP Drawing are portfolio-assessed and have no practice exams. AP Research has no end-of-course AP exam; its score comes from a paper, presentation, and oral defense. Those four subjects have the 30-day money-back guarantee only. See our Refund Policy for details, or contact us at support@maxyourscore.com.

Each subscription covers one AP subject. You can add another subject at any time and cancel any subscription from the billing portal in your account settings. To move a subscription between monthly and annual billing, contact us at support@maxyourscore.com.

Payments are processed by Stripe. Major credit and debit cards are accepted, and the checkout page shows every payment method available to you.

Study Tools

The tutor never gives the final answer to a specific practice or assessment question. It explains concepts, gives hints, and may work a different, analogous example. It is told which subject and unit you are studying. The tutor is part of paid plans and has generous daily limits.

Spaced repetition is a study technique that spreads reviews of the same material over growing intervals. Our flashcard tool uses the SM-2 algorithm: after each card you rate how well you recalled it, and that rating sets when the card comes back.

Yes. The flashcard tool is free with an account: you create your own decks and review them with SM-2 spaced repetition. There are no ready-made decks in the review queue, so you start by making your first deck.

The study planner lays out a week of study from your AP exam dates and your quiz scores, giving more time to subjects with a closer exam or lower scores. It follows fixed rules rather than AI. Cram mode builds a day-by-day plan from your exam date and the hours you can study each day.

In a limited way. With a free account you can add friends, see a leaderboard of you and your friends ranked by XP, and see your friends' recent activity. You can also create a study group or join one by invitation; a group is a member list for now: there is no group chat and no live study session.

AP Exam Info

AP exams are typically administered during the first two weeks of May each year. The College Board publishes the exact schedule in the fall of the prior year.

AP exams are scored on a scale of 1 to 5, where 5 is the highest. A score of 3 or higher is generally considered passing, and many colleges grant credit for scores of 4 or 5.

There's no set number. It depends on your academic goals, course load, and available study time. Focus on quality preparation over quantity.

Many US colleges and some international universities grant credit or placement for AP scores, though policies vary by school and by subject. Check your target school's AP credit policy.

Yes, you can retake an AP exam in a later year. Your score report includes every AP score you have earned unless you ask the College Board to withhold or cancel one.
