Junior year AP load planning
When to Start Prepping for April 24 – May 5, 2028
Most students who score 5s started serious study by January of their exam year. That gives 4 months of consistent practice. If you're planning earlier:
- Summer 2027 (8 months out): Start AimFive's diagnostic. Get your baseline.
- Fall 2027 (6 months out): 20 MCQs/day during the school year.
- January 2028 (4 months out): Add weekly timed essays with rubric feedback.
- March-April 2028 (1-2 months out): Full practice exams. Cram Mode for weak units.
- Last week: Light review only. Sleep. Show up. Exam day checklist.
