speaking assignments, dbq rubric points, and more
november 9, 2026
Students see next steps for each subject and can retry a missed question. Teachers can assign world-language speaking and pick which AP rubric points a history essay covers.
For students
- Next moves for each subject. Pick a subject on your practice dashboard to see up to three next steps, like reviewing your weakest topic or trying a first FRQ, plus a countdown to the exam. You can also remove one subject without resetting the rest. Open your practice dashboard
- Try again after a miss. In guided practice, choose "Try again" after a wrong multiple-choice answer to retry the same question, with the choices you already tried turned off. On questions enough students have answered, you'll see how others answered each choice. Practice AP World
- Find unit tests in search. Type something like "ap world unit 1 test" or "unit 3 vocab" and search opens that unit's test or key-term list. A search like "apush unit 3" shows both first.
- Explanations for every choice. When your teacher releases assignment results, every multiple-choice answer shows its explanation, so you can see why the other choices don't work.
For teachers
- Assign speaking tasks. Add Project Presentation and Project Q&A to assignments in AP Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish Language. Students record their answers, they're scored with AI, and you can play back each recording, including students' practice-exam speaking. See the Teacher Workspace
- Assign part of a history essay. For AP World, APUSH and AP Euro DBQs and LEQs, choose which AP rubric points students write for, so a short class period can fit a two-paragraph essay. For DBQs, you can also choose which documents students get.
- Print a clean student copy. Print an assignment as a student copy with questions only, an answer key, or both, with the key starting on a new page. When you review an FRQ submission, the question now shows above the student's answer.
- Scan without waiting. Phone scanning reads each page in the background while you keep shooting, then groups pages into students by the names written on them. Pages with a missing or unclear name are flagged for you to check. Grade FRQs

Fixes
- Google sign-in now always asks which account to use, so you don't land in the wrong Fiveable account. AP key-term pages that wouldn't load open again, and old study guide links open the guide instead of a missing page.
