Frequently Asked Questions

Fiveable is a content library and study platform for AP students and teachers. We were founded by a former AP teacher and launched in 2018. Since then, we've helped millions of AP students keep up with their classes and have maintained a 90%+ pass rate every single year.

LOTS! We have detailed study guides for every topic and unit in every AP subject, plus SAT, ACT, and Honors courses. Huge banks of practice questions, tagged by topic and unit, and in some classes we have stimulus-based questions (mostly the AP histories). There are also Cheatsheets which are 1-page quick reviews to skim over the entire subject. And we have score calculators to help you guesstimate your results.

Content is organized by subject, unit, and topic. Every AP subject has a dedicated page with all of the content for that subject. Every unit has a dedicated page with all of the content for that unit. And every topic has a dedicated page with all of the content for that topic.

The content library has been supported by hundreds of creators over the years. Study guides were originally written by a team of students and teachers, and then edited each year to ensure we match the current CED.

All of our study guides started with human creators and now we're able to use the best AI models to run evaluations that ensure alignment with the CED and catch any errors. We also use AI to create and evaluate practice questions. Our team has become experts in prompt engineering and have a deep understanding of the CED, which ensures any content generated by AI is high quality.

If you're on the annual plan, you'll be charged again one year from your original purchase. If you're on the monthly plan, you'll be charged on the same day of each month (i.e. if you sign up on the 1st, you'll be charged on the 1st of each month).

Teachers can sign up for either plan. If you only plan to use Fiveable to improve your own understanding of the content, the digital-only plan is a great option. If you plan to use Fiveable to help your students, the printing plan is best so you can export content from Fiveable and share it with your students.
