Roadrunner Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) How does one go about finding one? Specifically somebody who can teach Calculus BC exam only prep. I don’t need this now, but school is over and I am sitting around and musing. I see online tutoring sites, but can’t find anybody who is a reader of AP exams, and I won’t need anybody to teach concepts, but to simply do test prep.

Arcadia Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I don’t think you need to hire a reader of AP exams for test prep. The scoring guidelines and the chief examiner reports are all available online. You can have a homeschool AP course audit account if you want access to more resources. Maybe daijobu might be interested since you are open to online tutoring. I did test prep for my oldest and I might bribe/pay him to do test prep for his brother even though he is so soft hearted he would do it for free. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 I hear it’s harder to get an audit account this year. And even if I did, I am absolutely unqualified to evaluate anything math even with guidelines. I would love a local tutor but online would work.

daijobu Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Thanks for the shout out, Arcadia, but I'm not qualified for calculus BC. But I think you're right that if you just take a bunch of old exams and study their grading rubric, you should be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Shen Yen teach at Blue Tent, AoPS Academy San Diego as well as AoPS online. For local tutors, do you know any graduating seniors that will be attending the state universities near to your home? Or even the local high schools’ AP Calculus BC teachers might be happy to earn some test prep tutoring money. “ College Board-authorized online AP instructor.
