Classes
The AP courses our members actually sit, laid out by the course framework's own units.
What it is
Classes is the coursework side of the Academy. It follows the College Board's unit structure rather than an order we invented, so what you revise here lines up with what your teacher is covering that week and with how the exam is organised.
Each course has a pooled question bank tagged by unit and by difficulty. Practice papers are cut from that pool, so you can sit a full paper at one difficulty, drill a single unit, or work only the hardest third when everything else is solid. Free-response papers sit alongside the multiple choice, with the graphs the exam grades you on named explicitly rather than left implied.
The part that matters most is what happens when you are wrong. Every question carries an explanation and a link to the study topic covering it, so a missed question routes you to the material instead of leaving you to guess what to review.

What is in it
Three courses, unit by unit
AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics, and AP Business Principles and Personal Finance. Each unit lists the framework's own sub-topics and the MCBA study topics that cover them.
Multiple-choice papers at three difficulties
Easy is definitions and one-step reasoning. Intermediate is exam level, with two-step reasoning and graph reading. Hard is the hardest third of a real paper: multi-step chains and close distractors.
Free-response practice with point breakdowns
FRQ papers with the parts labelled the way the real exam labels them, timed, and marked out of stated points per part, so you learn where marks actually come from.
Essential graphs, named
Micro and Macro are graded directly on graphs you draw and shift from memory, so the courses list them rather than leaving you to discover which ones matter in May.
How to use it
What members who get the most out of this area actually do.
Start with a unit, not a paper
Pick the unit you are covering in class and work its questions at Easy first. The point is coverage, not a score.
Follow every wrong answer to its topic
The explanation tells you why. The topic link tells you what to study. Doing this is the difference between practice and repetition.
Sit a full paper under time
Once the units are covered, take a whole paper at Intermediate against the clock. Timing is a skill that has to be practised separately from content.
Finish on the hard set and the FRQs
The last third of a real paper and the free-response section are where scores separate. Save them for when the fundamentals are solid, then work them repeatedly.
