AP^® Classes that Help You Stand Out

What does the Compass AP Roadmap Bundle include?

For most subjects, it include all four practice tests and the April AP Exam Review sessions. Environmental Science, Human Geography, and Statistics include two practice tests and the review sessions.

Which units are covered in the Winter and Spring Checkpoints? When should I take the Checkpoints?

Every teacher approaches the order and speed of material differently. We’ve followed College Board’s guidelines as closely as possible.

Winter Checkpoints

The ideal time to take is January or later.

Spring Checkpoints

The ideal time to take is March or later.

What about English Language and Literature?

While there are unit for both of these classes, they are more general, like “explain the function of plot” and tend to all be covered throughout the course.

What is covered in the full practice tests?

All units are covered. 

Is there a practice test included in the April AP Exam Review Course?

Yes! A full-length practice test is included. This practice test is different from the ones you can register for on our AP Practice Test Page. Please reach out to classes@compassprep.com if you have any questions.

How are practice tests proctored and graded?

Practice tests are offered on the Compass online testing center and can be taken at your convenience. We strongly recommend that you plan to take each practice test in one sitting.

FRQ responses are either typed directly into a compose window in the testing interface or hand-written on blank paper for hybrid tests (Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, and Statistics). After the completion of a hybrid test, students are prompted to use their phone to photograph and save their work to the test. The upload process will not deduct from the allotted time. 

Multiple choice sections are graded instantly and available in the student’s account at my.compassprep.com. Grading of FRQs generally takes 1 week. Students receive a notification email when score reports are complete.

Score reports include an estimated 1-5 scaled score as well as detailed Free Response Question scoring and feedback from our expert readers.

Does the Personalized 1-on-1 AP Prep package include any practice tests or do I have to buy the Practice Test package?

Our 1-on-1 tutoring package does not include any explicit practice test or grading services. Students can register for practice tests through their account at my.compassprep.com. The 1-on-1 tutoring package is intended to provide students with completely personalized help on their AP courses or any other academic curriculum.

What if I have a conflict with the scheduled time of the Group Review session?

All April AP Exam Review sessions are recorded and will be available to registered students within 1-2 business days of the sessions.

What if I am interested in two or more AP subjects that hold Group Reviews at the same time?

All April AP Exam Review sessions are recorded and will be available to registered students within 1-2 business days of the sessions.

What is the deadline for completing the included practice test?

To receive a full score report before the date of the actual test, we ask students to adhere to the following deadlines:

What are our options if we would like to try private instruction?

Students enrolled in a class can supplement their group instruction with customized 1-1 lessons as needed. They can also arrange for 1-1 instruction when preparing to take the SAT or ACT for a second time. Compass students often start with a class and then refine their approach with private lessons leading up to their next test attempt.

Is there a registration limit for the Group Reviews? How many students can I expect to see in each session?

April AP Exam Review sessions are conducted as webinars. While we do not limit the number of students in our sessions, our experienced instructors are adept at delivering engaging learning sessions and fielding questions from the group. Participation levels vary depending on the popularity of the AP subject. In the past, we have seen 20-100 students register and attend the sessions live.

Do you offer financial aid for prep courses?

We support hundreds of FA-eligible students every year through our partnerships with schools. Compass also works with non-profits and CBOs nationwide. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to offer need-based discounts by request. Please ask your college counselor about any partnership opportunities they may be considering.

What’s your course refund policy?

We will issue you a complete refund up to 48 hours in advance of the first instructional session.
