Reach a 5 in your AP subjects with one-on-one tutoring
One-on-one AP tutoring programme. In a free initial consultation we assess your level and agree the plan and the exact price together. Parents and students are both welcome to reach out.
What is the AP exam?
AP (Advanced Placement) is a College Board program that lets high-school students take university-level courses. It spans more than 30 subjects, from calculus and physics to economics and English literature, and each course ends with a standardised AP exam held every May. At Studrise we offer one-on-one online tutoring in 19 of these subjects.
AP scores are one of the strongest signals of academic readiness in university applications, especially in the United States and Canada, and many universities across Europe and the UK accept them too. Strong AP scores make your application stand out, earn course credit or exemptions at many universities and — with the right subject choices — build an academic profile that matches the program you are aiming for.

AP exam dates
Upcoming sittings from the official calendar. We decide together in the consultation which date to aim for and when to start.
| Exam date | Day | Registration |
|---|---|---|
| 3–14 May 2027 | AP exam weeks | Through your school, by mid-November |
AP exams are held in the first two weeks of May every year.
AP exam format
Every AP subject has its own exam, but they share a common structure:
Section I: Multiple Choice
40–75 questions depending on the subject · 40–70% of the exam score
Section II: Free Response
FRQs, essays, DBQs or a project · 30–60% of the exam score
Duration
Most exams run 2 to 3 hours 15 minutes · most subjects digital in Bluebook since 2025
Exam calendar
First two weeks of May every year · one sitting per subject
Scoring and target scores
All AP exams are scored on a 1–5 scale: 5 means "extremely well qualified", 4 "very well qualified" and 3 "qualified", with 3 generally treated as a passing score. Raw scores from the multiple-choice and free-response sections are combined using weightings set separately for each subject and then converted to the scale, so the share of correct answers needed for a given score varies from subject to subject. Selective universities — and competitive programs such as engineering, pre-med and economics in particular — usually expect a 4 or 5. Credit and exemption policies differ by institution; checking your target universities' AP policy early also sharpens your subject choices.
AP courses suit students in grades 10, 11 and 12 who plan to study at university abroad. Which subjects to take comes down to two criteria: the fields your target program expects and the topics you are strongest in. Because the exams are held once a year in May, preparation usually spans the school year; students sitting several AP exams need a balanced study plan across subjects in the final 3–4 months before May. In the initial consultation we work out together which AP subjects are right for you and how much time each one needs.

Topic teaching aligned with each subject's official Course and Exam Description (CED)

What sets the price of AP tutoring?
There is no single list price; the fee depends on the programme. You get a clear quote in the consultation — nothing is added later.
Lessons per week
One, two or three lessons a week — set by the time until the exam and the score gap.
Total duration and package
Lessons are priced as a package; longer programmes lower the per-lesson cost.
Scope
One section (say, Math only) or the whole exam? A narrower scope means a shorter programme.
Tutor and level
The tutor you're matched with and your starting level shape the plan, and therefore the fee.
Adding coaching?
Coaching and application counselling is an optional, separately priced programme.
Every lesson you pay for is 1:1
No crowded classroom, no idle hours. Keep that in mind when comparing with group-course prices.
In the free initial consultation we assess your level, draw up the plan and give you the exact price. No surprises.
Which AP subjects should you choose?
The right choice answers two questions: what does your target programme expect, and where are you strong?
| Target programme | Priority AP subjects | Complementary |
|---|---|---|
| Engineering, computer science | Calculus BC (or AB), Physics C / Physics 1, Computer Science A | Statistics, Chemistry |
| Medicine, biology, health | Biology, Chemistry, Calculus AB | Psychology, Statistics |
| Economics, business, finance | Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Calculus AB/BC | Statistics, English Language |
| Social sciences, law, politics | English Language, World History, Comparative Government | Psychology, Macroeconomics |
| Literature, communication, arts | English Literature, English Language | Psychology, World History |
Two or three AP subjects in the same year is a sustainable load for most students. If your school offers the AP course, build on it; if not, you can sit the exams as an independent candidate and the programme is built entirely from 1:1 lessons. In the consultation we check your target universities' AP policy (credit, exemptions, expected scores) together.
How to register for AP exams from Türkiye
- If your school offers AP: register through the school's AP coordinator; the College Board takes exam orders until mid-November, and late registration costs extra.
- If your school doesn't offer AP: you can sit the exams as an independent candidate at a College Board authorised test centre. Find a centre early; seats in Istanbul and Ankara fill up in the autumn.
- Fee: the AP exam fee is paid to the College Board and is separate from tutoring; test centres may add a service charge. Check the College Board AP fee page for the current amount.
- Exam window: the first two weeks of May every year, one sitting per subject. Since 2025 most subjects are digital or hybrid in the Bluebook app; check device requirements in advance.
- Results: released in early July in your College Board account; score reports to universities are sent from the same account.
