   “The AP exam was very hard”, said Paris, a bright students who struggled on the AP exam after going through regular AP training. “AP exams are not just plugging and chugging numbers, like students do in the regular class room. These exams thoroughly test all material including deep understanding of theories and subject concepts,” said Yash Raval, one of After School University instructors specializing in AP Calc and AP Stats. The problems and material reviewed at After School University is designed towards developing special mind set and intuitive way of thinking about subject matter rather than automatic plugging and chugging of numbers.
