High5Wizard – AP & College Course Exam Prep

Freemium

High5Wizard (App Store and Google Play) is designed to prepare users for Advanced Placement and College courses. At its core, the app offers different types of tests across a range of subject areas, including English Language, US History, Government & Politics, Psychology, World History, Statistics, Calculus AB, Biology, Human Geography, and Environmental Science. To use the app, users must first register by providing a name, email, and password.

Once registered, users can tap the three-lined icon at the top left of the home screen, and they will see a variety of options. The “Home” option takes them to a page where they can select a subject area. Once selected, users can tap the “play” button icon next to a unit, and a new screen will appear. On it, users can select the type of questions they wish to answer, such as multiple choice, stimulus based multiple choice, long and short answer, matching, etc. At this point, questions for that unit will load and depending on the type of question, users can select the correct answer or respond to the prompt. If the question is multiple choice or matching, the app identifies if they were or were not correct. If the question is another type, no feedback is provided. As users answer questions, the app tracks their progress, which they can view when first selecting a subject area. Users also earn points for correct answers and lose points for incorrect answers.

Returning to the three-lined icon, users can select the “Profile” button to see their progress. The “AP-Prep Track” option allows users a shortcut to view and select a subject area, similar to the “Home” option. The “Badges” option allows users to see digital badges they earned based on their progress. The “Ranking” option shows where users stand in comparison to other users based on the points earned. The “Settings” option allows users to change their account information, adjust their settings, and learn more about the app.
