The evidence

The results speak in AP scores

In a year-over-year AP Government study at the same school with the same teacher, students using Magna had stronger outcomes after accounting for Unit 1 baseline performance.

3.25x

higher odds of scoring a 5

12% → 35%

share of students scoring a 5, year over year

40% → 67%

share of students scoring a 4 or higher

Magna students have gone on to Stanford, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, UCLA, and more.

How it works

Practice. Get feedback. Find the gap. Fix it.

Practice Point-by-point feedback Identify the gap Practice what's missing

Instant scoring alone doesn't raise scores. What raises scores is the loop: write a response, get point-by-point feedback aligned with official AP scoring criteria, see exactly which concept or rubric skill cost you the point, then practice that specific gap. Magna runs that whole loop for you, in seconds instead of days.

Every question in Magna is connected to the standards, skills, concepts, or rubric requirements it measures. So when you miss a point, Magna doesn't just mark it wrong. It identifies the concepts and rubric skills costing you points, then helps you target them in your next practice session.

Point-by-point feedback

Not a vague grade. You see exactly which rubric points you earned, which you missed, and what the response needed to earn them.

Reviewed for accuracy

Feedback is built with review by subject matter experts and AP teachers.

Ask Magna

Don't understand why you missed a point? Ask a follow-up and Magna's inbuilt AI Tutor explains the concept behind it, right where you're stuck.

New: Skill Builder

Stuck on a hard problem? Break it down.

Some AP questions are hard because they stack several skills into one prompt. Skill Builder, Magna's newest capability, breaks a tough problem into smaller sub-problems so you can work through it step by step.

Instead of staring at a question you can't start, you solve each piece, see how the pieces connect, and build the critical thinking the full question demands. The next time a question like it shows up, you know how to take it apart yourself.

What you get

MCQs and FRQs across every supported course, with and without stimuli, matched to the current College Board course frameworks.

Full-length practice tests

Simulate real exam conditions so timing and format hold no surprises on test day.

Every question comes with an in-depth explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a concept you now understand.

Skill Builder

Break a hard question into smaller sub-problems and work through it one step at a time.

Ask Magna

Feedback tells you what you missed. Ask Magna tells you why. Ask a follow-up on any question or piece of feedback and Magna's inbuilt AI Tutor explains the concept in the moment you're stuck, so you move on understanding it instead of memorizing the correction.

How Magna compares

Built for AP practice, not adapted to it

Alongside AP Classroom

AP Classroom provides official course resources and practice. Magna complements it with immediate, point-by-point feedback on written responses, the part of AP prep where waiting for grades slows you down most.

75.8% of students who used both preferred Magna for FRQ practice

Compared to a general chatbot

General AI chatbots weren't built to grade AP exams. Magna uses questions written and reviewed by AP teachers and scores against rubrics aligned with official AP scoring criteria, so the feedback maps to how the exam is actually scored.

"Its free response questions were my favorite for its ability to give you accurate feedback based on your depth of knowledge; it was much better than other AI services (like ChatGPT) for this purpose!"
