Class Description

The AP Crash Courses are designed for high school students enrolled in AP History or AP English classes who want to strengthen the advanced skills and strategies required for success on the AP Exams. These targeted prep classes offer focused instruction in both essay writing and multiple-choice test strategies.

​

Students may choose from courses tailored to the following subjects:

• AP U.S. History (APUSH)

• AP World History

• AP Modern History

• AP English Language and Composition

• AP English Literature and Composition

 

​Each course provides rigorous and comprehensive exam preparation that supplements students’ school coursework. Depending on the subject, class time is spent building critical skills such as historical analysis, document-based synthesis, literary interpretation, rhetorical analysis, and contextual reasoning. Students regularly practice with AP-style multiple-choice and essay questions and review exemplar responses that reflect the scoring guidelines published by the College Board.

 

In AP History courses, students deepen their understanding of major historical themes and sharpen their ability to evaluate and synthesize sources. In AP English courses, students refine their reading and writing techniques to craft well-structured, evidence-based essays and interpret complex texts with clarity and nuance.

Please note: These are not full AP content courses. We do not cover every unit or reading in the AP curriculum. Instead, these courses focus on mastering the exam-specific skills—such as critical analysis, effective argumentation, and synthesis—that lead to high scores on the AP Exams.

​​​

Sessions include:

• Three graded practice tests

• Multiple-choice question skills and tips

• Primary and secondary source analysis

• Discussion of historical developments and processes

• Learning how to create connections between historical moments or patterns

• Thesis/Argument development

• Integrating evidence into writing

• Feedback on all writing, including short and long essay and document-based questions

What makes the AP history classes great? The instructor! Maggie R. graduated from UPenn, concentrating in American history, and loves teaching history. She is a dynamic, high-energy teacher who teaches students how to appreciate and love the nuances, implications, and lessons of history as much as she does. All of her students to date have scored a 5 on the exam. When not teaching, she can be found developing AP History curriculum for various online programs, teaching analytic writing classes, walking her donkey on her farm, or hiking up a local mountain. 

​

Class format: meets online with a live instructor.

Students will receive 1 hour/week of homework that mimics the AP exam.​​​​​​​​​​
