Question 1

How do Thinkwell courses work?

Accepted Answer

Your student watches a 5-10 minute online video lesson, completes the automatically graded exercises for the topic with instant correct-answer feedback, then moves on to the next lesson! The courses are self-paced, or you can use the daily lesson plans. Just like a textbook, you can choose where to start and end, or follow the entire course.

Question 2

Is Thinkwell Biology compatible with AP® certified by the College Board®?

Accepted Answer

The College Board® states at their website: “The AP Course Audit process is designed to review AP courses in their entirety, so only schools (whether brick-and-mortar or virtual) can submit course syllabi for review.” Since Thinkwell is a publisher and not a school, our materials can’t be certified. We strive to make this distinction, which is why you see this statement: AP® is a registered trademark of the College Board, which was not involved in its production. This course is designed for self-study preparation for the AP® exam and has not been audited by the College Board®.

Question 3

How are grades calculated?

Accepted Answer

The course grade is calculated this way: Chapter Tests 33.3%, Midterm: 33.3%, Final: 33.3%.

Question 4

Can I print the exercises?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but completing the exercises online provides immediate correct answer feedback and automatic scoring, so we recommend answering the exercises online.

Question 5

When does my 12-month online subscription start?

Accepted Answer

It starts when you're ready. You can have instant access to your online subscription when you receive your registration email, or you can purchase now and start later.

Question 6

Does my student get school credit for Thinkwell Biology?

Accepted Answer

No, only schools are accredited and Thinkwell is not a school, though many accredited schools use Thinkwell. Getting AP® credit is accomplished by taking the AP exam®.

Question 7

Can I share access with more than one student?

Accepted Answer

The courses are designed and licensed to accommodate one student per username and password; additional students need to purchase online access. This allows parents to keep track of each student's progress and grades.

Question 8

How to Use

Accepted Answer

How to Use AP Biology

Activate your subscription when you're ready to begin. Your 12 months of access start upon activation, allowing you to fit the course into your homeschool schedule.
  Follow the course pacing guide and work through the video lessons in order. More than 380 lessons guide students through the major topics covered on the AP Biology exam, building understanding one concept at a time.
  After each lesson, complete the interactive practice problems. With more than 1,000 exercises throughout the course, students receive immediate feedback and regular opportunities to strengthen mastery.
  Use the chapter tests, practice tests, midterm exam, and final exam to monitor progress. Automatic grading and built-in diagnostics help identify areas that may need additional review before moving on.
  Take advantage of the course resources. Printable notes, closed captioning, and a glossary containing more than 1,600 biological terms provide valuable support when tackling more challenging concepts.
  Review diagnostic results periodically and spend extra time on weaker areas. This targeted approach helps students prepare effectively for the AP Biology exam while deepening their understanding of the subject.
  Parents can access grades, transcripts, and progress reports at any time, making it easy to monitor performance without additional record-keeping.

By the end of the course, your teen will have completed a rigorous AP-level biology program and developed a strong foundation for future study in science.
