Why we built this
Studying for AP & state exams shouldn't cost $500
Princeton Review prep books run $20-30 each. Online AP tutors charge $50/hour. Albert.io and other premium platforms gate the good practice. Test-prep is a paywall — and accessibility is usually an afterthought.
Test prep is expensive
A full AP course of prep books, online practice, and tutoring runs $200-800 per subject. Students taking 4 APs face $1000+ just to be ready.
The good stuff is paywalled
Realistic MCQs, full-length mocks, score predictors — every "free" platform gates them behind a Pro tier or "limited free trial."
Accessibility is an afterthought
Most test-prep sites have inaccessible PDFs, no screen-reader support, no audio versions. Students with IEPs and 504 plans are left out.
Ads everywhere
Free sites monetize via ads, trackers, "sponsored" content. Your data is the product. Distractions ruin study sessions.

Real feedback from real US students
The audio narration is a game-changer. I have ADHD and I can't sit and read a 20-page PDF, but I can listen to the lessons while I'm walking. Got a 4 on AP CSA.
M
My daughter has a 504 for dyslexia. Princeton Review books were unreadable for her. Shrutam's dyslexia-friendly font + audio meant she could finally study independently.
P
I'm homeschooling 3 kids on a single income. We can't afford $200/subject for AP prep. Shrutam being free and CED-aligned has been a lifeline.
