Four ways to prepare for the AP® Physics 1 exam, from free to a person in your corner, each with one price. Pick the one that matches how your student actually works.
Students who need direction.
Your student knows exactly what to study and when, and can start any week of the year.
No full practice bank, no AP question banks, no feedback on their work.
Students who can follow a plan on their own.
Everything your student needs to know what to study and practice it independently.
No AI feedback on their work, no live classes, no coach.
Students who need feedback, but not a tutor every week.
The system finds what your student is getting wrong and tells them what to do next.
Allen-trained AI. Trained by Allen on hundreds of hours of his teaching material and problem-solving strategies, so it checks how your student attacked the problem, not just the final answer.
The feedback comes from Allen's AI, not a person. No live classes, no coach.
Students who need accountability and a person's judgment.
The highest-support path, for families who want someone making sure the work gets done correctly before the exam.
Enrollment is by call only. We keep the number of students small enough that the human support stays real, and we'd rather say no than enroll a student it won't help.
Each plan is one payment, not a subscription, and lasts through your student's May AP exam window (access ends May 31). Plans are not refundable. The plan buttons open a secure checkout. Enter your details and your student's, and the plan goes straight onto your student's Study Portal account.
Every paid level has the full set of lessons, practice problems and AP questions. What changes is who checks your student's work, how fast they get unstuck, and who keeps them going.
| FreeUnit Playbooks | IndependentExam Preparation System | Feedback-DrivenPersonalized Score Accelerator | Human-SupportedPersonal Performance Coaching | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| When they get it wrong | They rewatch the lesson. | They compare their work to the video solution and find the mistake themselves. | Allen's AI reviews their own work and says what was wrong, why, and what to practice next. | The AI reviews it, and an instructor reviews it too. |
| When they're stuck | They rewatch the lesson. | They watch the solution. | Step-by-step AI help on that problem, at any hour. | AI help at any hour, plus live office hours and an instructor's answer. |
| Who keeps them on track | Your student, with a week-by-week plan. | Your student does. | Your student, with the AI saying what to practice next. | A Success Coach who builds the plan, checks in, and sends you progress updates. |
| What you know as a parent | That they have a plan. | That they practiced. | What they're getting wrong. | That someone is making sure it gets fixed before the exam. |
More help isn't always the right answer, and less help isn't a saving if the work never gets done.
Not enough on its own for a student who needs practice problems with solutions, or feedback on their work.
Not the right fit for a student who won't open it unless someone checks.
Not the right fit if the real problem is that the work isn't getting done.
Not needed for a self-starter who only wants practice. Start with a plan; the upgrade credit is there if they need more.

Want the detail on Personal Performance Coaching for AP Physics 1? See everything that's included.
These are students in Personal Performance Coaching, our 2026 cohort. The self-study plans are new this year, so there are no exam results for them yet. Past student results, not a guarantee.
Yes. Not sure which level is right? Start here. If you need more support within 30 days, we'll credit 100% of your purchase toward the next level. Your student upgrades from the plans page in the Study Portal.
No. Each plan is one payment, not a subscription, and lasts through your student's May AP exam window (access ends May 31). Plans are not refundable. Personal Performance Coaching starts with $500 for the first 30 days, and nothing more is charged unless you decide to continue.
The Exam Preparation System and the Personalized Score Accelerator are not refundable. If your student needs more support, within 30 days everything you paid counts toward the next level, so you only pay the difference. Personal Performance Coaching's terms are on its page.
It isn't a general-purpose chatbot. Allen trained it on hundreds of hours of his teaching material and the problem-solving strategies he teaches for every unit, so it looks at how your student set up and attacked the problem, not just whether the final number matched. It's the same AI that students in Personal Performance Coaching use, where an instructor also reviews their work.
No. Live classes, office hours, posting in the community, instructor review and a Success Coach are part of Personal Performance Coaching. The plans are the Study Portal on its own, with AI feedback in the Personalized Score Accelerator.
No. It's live small-group teaching lessons and practice sessions, office hours, an instructor who reviews your student's work, and a Success Coach who builds the plan and checks in every week.
Because a person's time is the part we can run out of. We keep the number of students small enough that the coaching stays real, and we won't enroll a student the call says it won't help. You'll hear honestly whether it's the right fit before anyone pays anything.
The plan buttons open a secure checkout. Enter your details and your student's, and the plan goes straight onto your student's Study Portal account.
The Unit Playbooks give your student a week-by-week plan and the video lessons for every unit. You can move to a paid level whenever you know what they need.
