Personalized strategies for making effective use of AP exams and dual credit programs for your intended college and major.

I can help you choose appropriate AP courses from your high school's offerings, or guide you through a home-study program and find a school where you can take the exam as an outside test-taker.

For AP preparation, we focus first on solidifying your fundamental subject understanding and filling knowledge gaps, then we hone your test-taking skills.

Leverage the AP Exam to Optimize Your Undergraduate Experience

Strategic Use of AP Exams Essential for College-Bound Washingtonians

Washington public universities impose capacity controls on popular majors, making them highly competitive. For each semester a student remains undeclared, the probability of securing a seat in their top-choice upper-division program decreases, and their potential debt load increases.

High school students who earn a 4-5 on AP exams in subjects required for their chosen majors increase the likelihood of acceptance into their upper-division program and shorten the overall time to earn their bachelor's degree.

Want help creating a strategy on how to make the best use of available dual-credit programs and AP exams? I can create a customized plan that includes:

  • A list of AP exams matching the prerequisite courses for your college and top-choice majors.

  • The best mix of AP exams and Running Start courses to expedite your acceptance into your chosen major.

  • A study and tutoring plan to maximize your chance of achieving a 5 on all AP exams.

If you're interested in a customized plan, let me know in your initial inquiry, and we will discuss your needs and goals in our 30-minute free introductory Zoom meeting.
