Then this might be for you. - You understand the concepts, but need help solving problems - You know how to solve problems but often run out of time. - You are having trouble with answering FRQs and often miss a few points off each. - You find problems confusing in general. Or don't know how to start solving a question. ### This program is NOT for students who - Need to learn topics from scratch - Are not willing to do test corrections and lot of practice questions - Do not want faster ways to solve problems ### This program is IS for students who - Aim to get a higher score to stand out on collage applications - Have the time to put in extra hours for practice and test corrections - Are genuinely interested in learning quick problem solving tricks ## Yes, I want to ace my AP Physics 1 Exam! Excel in Physics like no other student. ## Program details - STEP BY STEP Six tabs, one step each: ### 1. Your Plan — Step 1 is to make a plan that's fine-tuned to your learning. Every student is different, and therefore everyone will have a unique plan. During our first lesson we will discuss your strengths and weaknesses and plan out the steps you will take to get a 5. ### 2. Bookings — Scheduling will be a breeze. After our first lesson, parents and students will take 15 minutes to plan out recurring dates on which to meet. All 16 lessons will be booked at once. **[Click here](https://nerd-notes.com/lessons/) to see available time slots.** ### 3. Mock Exams — Mock exams will make your actual test a LOT easier. Mock exams will be created by Jason. Many of the questions are based on the ACTUAL AP Exam in prior years. Mock exams WILL be timed and graded. The final lesson will consist of 2 FULL length AP Exams (3 hours each) that must be taken on the students own time. ### 4. Corrections — Test corrections make learning faster Understanding your mistakes is the quickest way to master physics. ALL questions that are answered incorrectly on mock exams NEED to be corrected quickly. This will be a focus during our 1 to 1 sessions. ### 5. Targeted Practice — 16 lessons is enough IF... You will, ideally, continuing practicing outside of our 1 to 1 sessions. Our platform will intelligently will assign hyper-targeted problems that you can solve in your free time. The science is simple: the more problems you solve, the higher you will score on the exam. Aim to work on a minimum of 10 problems per day for the next 5 weeks. ### 6. Ready, set, go! — Doing well will be WORTH it! Don’t think of this as a chore. This is an opportunity to get smarter and stand out. Getting a 5 on your exam will put you in the top 3 percent of the population. It will open doors for you and give you a leg up on college applications. The sooner you start, the better! ### Guaranteed to be better and faster than any other program - 16 1-to-1 lessons - Morning and afternoon lesson slots - Pro Physics tutor Jason Kuma. 8+ years of experience, 1000+ students, 8000+ teaching hours - Highly concise learning guides, materials, and methods for 5x learning speed - **Enroll Here** — checkout button for the program ($1997). - [Learn More](https://nerd-notes.com/physics/ap-physics-1-exam-course-5-weeks-for-a-5/#more5) ## Program Curriculum. 15 Rapid steps to success. **This is a sample curriculum.
