question bank cleanup, FRQ grading upgrades, and a bunch of fixes

march 18, 2026

Tighter practice questions, smarter FRQ grading for teachers, new error reporting, and a handful of fixes that have been bugging people.

Content quality

  • Reviewed every practice question across all subjects and cut ~4% that didn't meet accuracy standards. Every subject's question bank is tighter now.

FRQ & grading

  • Teachers can now import student essays directly from Google Classroom — or paste a Google Docs link to get started. The review and approve panel got a redesign too.
  • Score my response works again for LEQ FRQs. AP World SAQs no longer error out.

New this week

  • You can report errors you find in study guides and practice questions — and many of them get auto-fixed without any manual review.
  • AP Comp Gov printables now have a country filter.

Bug fixes

  • SAT reading comprehension questions now show the passage text (oops — "complete the text" questions actually make sense now)
  • The checkout flow got a refresh — cleaner and simpler
  • Forgot password works correctly even if you signed up with mixed-case email
  • Buttons feel snappier on mobile
  • Fixed a bug where premium subscribers were incorrectly told they had no active plan
