One month out. You've got 30 days. Here's the schedule that consistently raises AP scores by half a point or more, used by students who pivoted late but still hit a 4 or 5.
Week 1: Diagnostic + Map (Days 1–7)
- Day 1: Take a full diagnostic. AimFive's free diagnostic takes 5 minutes and identifies your weakest units.
- Day 2: Look at your diagnostic results. Identify your 3 weakest units. Write them down. These are your priority.
- Days 3–4: Speed-read or skim a review book front to back. Don't take notes. Just rebuild a mental map.
- Days 5–6: 30 MCQs per day from your weakest unit. Review every miss.
- Day 7: Rest day. Light review only.
Week 2: Drill Weak Units (Days 8–14)
- Days 8–10: Drill weak unit #1. 40 questions per day. Read content for any topic you missed twice.
- Days 11–13: Drill weak unit #2. Same volume.
- Day 14: Write your first timed essay (if your exam has FRQs/DBQs/LEQs). Use a rubric-scoring tool.
Week 3: Build Strength (Days 15–21)
- Days 15–17: Drill weak unit #3.
- Days 18–19: Mixed practice across all units, focusing on weak ones.
- Day 20: Take a full timed practice exam.
- Day 21: Review every miss from the practice exam. Be honest about why you missed each.
Week 4: Sharpen + Rest (Days 22–30)
- Days 22–24: Daily MCQ practice. One timed essay every two days. Read your one-page cheat sheet daily.
- Days 25–27: Second full practice exam. Compare to your week 3 exam. The gap tells you where to focus the last 3 days.
- Days 28–29: Light review only. Focus on rest, sleep, and exam-day logistics.
- Day 30: No new content. Pack your bag. Sleep 8+ hours.
Daily Time Commitment
Plan for 1.5–2 hours per day. That's enough to make real progress without burning out. More than 3 hours per day is counterproductive for most students.
