On MaxYourScore, Unit 1 is free with no account. Each unit has a review video, a follow-along note packet, and a 20-question AP-style quiz with explanations for every choice. A paid plan unlocks the remaining units, five full-length practice exams in the official format, SM-2 spaced-repetition flashcards, and a Socratic AI tutor that never hands you the answer.

The highest-yield path is video, then notes, then quiz for every unit, then timed practice exams. Start with the free study guide and the 20-question practice test if you want a map of the course before you commit study time.
