Helping Students Prepare
Resources to share with your students
There are various ways schools can help prepare students for the end-of-course AP Exam. Here are some strategies employed by schools:
- Implement summer programs to set academic foundations and ease the transition to AP courses.
- Set up resource centers to provide before- and after-school tutoring.
- Encourage your AP teachers to serve as AP Readers. Participation in the AP Reading has been shown to have a positive impact on the grades of these Readers' students.
Ensuring that students at your school have access to the full range of free and low-cost preparation resources at their disposal is also an important component of preparing them for exam day.
