UWorld Launches New Tools to Support Educators in Fostering AP® Success

The new College Readiness solution uses College Board^®-level questions to help students learn and retain information in seven different subjects

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UWorld, the worldwide leader in online learning to prepare for high-stakes exams, today announced the launch of AP^® (Advanced Placement^®) Learning Tools, a new College Readiness solution to help educators enhance instruction, improve student performance, and effectively prepare for AP exams. The tools save teachers time while enabling students to achieve their academic goals.

Forty percent of students who take AP exams only earn a score of 1 or 2, but studies show that students who score a 3 or higher are more likely to be successful in college and graduate. AP Learning Tools uses College Board^®-level questions and clear, concise answer explanations to help students understand why they got an answer wrong, retain information, develop critical thinking skills, and deepen subject-area knowledge.

“Some 1.24 million students took an AP exam in 2019, and that number is predicted to grow year-over-year—and yet educators have little access to AP instruction and exam prep resources that are particularly effective in distance and hybrid learning environments,” said Chandra S. Pemmasani, M.D., UWorld’s founder and CEO. “With our AP Learning Tools, educators have access to progress and performance tracking that helps them identify gaps, modify instructional approaches, and support students—all from their computer.”

All of UWorld’s College Readiness solutions are developed using research-based educational strategies that support instruction, improve engagement, and build critical-thinking skills so that students have the knowledge and confidence to succeed. The answer choices used in AP Learning Tools are updated weekly to ensure alignment to current AP courses and exams. An easy-to-use assignment tool allows educators to customize assignments and integrate content into lessons. Plus, reporting tools provide meaningful insight into student AP performance at the classroom, school and district level.

UWorld currently offers materials in seven AP subjects: Calculus AB, Calculus BC, English Language, English Literature, Statistics, US History, and World History. More subjects are coming soon, and schools and districts can customize the College Readiness solutions to fit their needs using a per-course enrollment license or a school or district-wide license in which all students get access to all courses.
