The hardest part of AP prep isn't the content — it's showing up every day for 6 months. Score Bet is a commitment device: lock in your target AP score now, and your wallet pulls for you.
How Score Bet Works
- Set your target score (3, 4, or 5) when you subscribe to Pro.
- Use AimFive normally through exam season — practice, write essays, take exam sims.
- After your AP score releases in July, send us your score report.
- If you hit your target: Pro is refunded in full. Your money back, your score earned.
- If you miss it: AimFive keeps the subscription. No bitterness — you got the tool, the prep, and a clearer next-year plan.
Why This Works (the psychology)
Loss aversion is one of the most replicated findings in behavioral economics. Commitment contracts (Stickk, Beeminder) show that people who put money on the line for goals achieve them 20–40% more often than people who just "try."
Score Bet aligns your subscription with the outcome you actually want. Suddenly $9.99/month isn't a cost — it's a bet on yourself you can win.
The Math
- If you hit your target: net cost = $0. Pro was free.
- If you miss your target: net cost = ~$60-80 for 6-8 months of Pro. Same as not using Score Bet.
How to Activate Score Bet
Already a Pro user: email scorebet@aimfive.com with your target score before March 1 of your exam year. We'll register the bet and confirm by reply.
Not yet Pro: sign up, then activate Score Bet in Settings → Score Bet within 30 days of subscribing.
Rules + Edge Cases
- Target must be set before March 1 of your AP year — no waiting until you know your score.
- Pro must remain active continuously from bet to exam day.
- You must complete AimFive's diagnostic + at least 30 hours of practice. Score Bet rewards people who actually use the tool.
- One bet per AP subject. Multi-AP students can bet on multiple.
- If you don't take the exam ("No Show"), the bet is voided (no refund, no penalty).
Combine With the Score-Lift Guarantee
Score-Lift Guarantee = refund if you score BELOW our prediction.
Score Bet = refund if you score AT or ABOVE your target.
They're complementary. You can have both active simultaneously.
