Did you know that despite only needing

70% to get a 5, less than 7% of students actually score a 5

on the AP Physics final exam?

Breaks my heart to say that the students struggle all year and some do perfectly fine in their classes. But most students are not truly ready to take the exam.

Problem#1

You’ve already heard that scoring a 5 on the AP® Physics 1 exam is extremely difficult…

 

Problem#2

 

Even if they get a 5 on the AP® Physics 1 exam and get into their dream school, your children need to be set up for success…

 

Problem#3

 

Students only get 1 shot to take the AP® exam and that’s it. You want to really make sure all of their hard work and studies actually translate into success.

 

3 Reasons Why Students Fail To Score a 5 on the

AP® Physics 1 Exam.

-1-

They rely on their teacher to prepare them for the exam content.

Teachers don’t always teach exactly to the AP® Physics 1 standards. The course has been updated by the college board multiple times (in 2015 was the initial revamp, and in 2021, they removed 3 major units from the exam permanently). What this means is sometimes teachers don’t always cover the correct material.

-2-

They rely on textbooks and study books for their practice problems.

Textbook problems focus on a lot of calculations, but AP® Physics 1 asks questions in very different ways than most textbooks. Students are expected to make interpretations and write out short paragraph answers to explain a concept without the need for equations. They’re expected to design an experiment. Most textbooks don’t do that.

-3-

They haven’t set up a strategy and plan for their studies

Students often work to keep up with their classwork expecting that they’ll be ready come May. But without solid strategies and a defined plan to get there, they will be unprepared to take the exam.

I'M IN!

OK, want to know the real reason why students fail?

 

It is true,

AP Physics 1 exam is not too hard,

it’s just that the College Board and teachers aren’t setting students up for success.

AP® Physics 1 Secrets to Problem Solving Program

The Complete A-Z Course for AP® Physics 1 for students aspiring to score a 5 on the AP® Exam

 

The only program that provides a complete support system and strategy to ensure success for students and conquer the dreaded

AP Physics!

Here is what you might not know!

 

AP® Physics 1 Secrets to Problem Solving Program provides the support your High Schooler desperately needs to succeed...

  • AP® Physics 1 Secrets to Problem Solving isn’t so much a training program as it is a complete support system and strategy to ensure students have all the tools to succeed.

    Yes, your child will learn the strategies behind everything you do, but more importantly, you'll have a meticulous, step-by-step, project plan that leaves nothing out and takes nothing for granted as you implement it. 

    The end result: fully understanding mechanics and scoring a 5 on the AP® exam.

  • AP® Physics 1 Secrets to Problem Solving

    is the first course of its kind that…

  • Builds the right group environment so that your child will feel motivated to succeed.

    Kids do so much better when they’re working with other friends together on a task. They don’t need another lecture from another teacher to make things stick. They need the support of their peers to really drive them to do better.

  • Sets the right standards so they know where their weaknesses are.

    Students need clear and consistent feedback on where their problems lie so they know what to focus on. Usually, a quiz or a test is too late to realize where they are struggling. 

  • Focuses on problem-solving so students can solve any problem they are given and do well on their tests.

    Students need to not only know the core foundation, but they also need to see how a problem is broken down step-by-step. It’s not enough to just learn the concept; they have to put it into practice.

Got a 5!

Hey! Got a 5 after watching your videos. Just wanted to say thanks for putting out informative and easy-to-understand content. Would not have been able to do well on FRQ without your detailed videos. Thank you so much!

Jennifer Johns

FINDING ALLEN FOR MY DAUGHTER WAS TRULY A BLESSING WITH A MIRACULOUS OUTCOME!

His teaching skills are nothing short of golden genius, with a fast and incredibly efficient method that removes all the confusion and makes things simpler to understand so that they finally make sense. He is worth every penny!

 

Chloe

He really teaches you how to think through a problem vs showing you how to do it. He also connected my confusion on some of the topics. Most importantly, he is an excellent communicator.

IS THERE A GUARANTEE?

When Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk go out to solve a problem, do they look for a guarantee for success? No, but they set themselves up for success by surrounding themselves with the best people and having high expectations for their students. I can guarantee that if your child puts in the work and follows the steps I ask them to take, they will get the results they want. I cannot guarantee they take those steps, but they will have absolutely everything they need to succeed.
