The plan is different for the student taking the course at school.
If the student takes the AP course regularly at school, the private tutoring can be based more on unit follow-up, completing missing parts and exam format practice. In this case, a light but regular pace at the beginning of the semester, and intense mock and FRQ study as the exam approaches, would be healthier.
Students whose lessons are prepared outside of school should start earlier.
Subject coverage creates a greater burden for students who do not take the AP course in their school program. Preparation needs to start early for these students. First, basic subject explanation, then unit-based question practice, and finally exam format study should be done.
The last 8 weeks may be too late just for explaining the subject.
If basic topics are still missing two months before the exam, the plan should be more intense and selective. Instead of covering each subject in equal time, topics with high exam weight and areas where the student lost the most points are prioritized.
- Unit weights should be taken into account.
- MCQ and FRQ practice should be planned separately.
- Mistakes should be analyzed as a way of thinking, not just as an answer.
- The pace of testing should be increased in recent weeks.
The best starting point is diagnostic assessment
"When should I start?" in AP preparation. The most accurate answer to the question is given by seeing the student's starting level. First analysis; It clarifies the distance between subject knowledge, question speed, open-ended answer discipline and target score.
