Amazing app!

starstarstarstarstar

The multiple choice practices on here were very similar to those on the exam and they truly helped me. Definitely recommend!

BEST APP EVER

starstarstarstarstar

I did not study at all for APUSH on my own. I only did the multiple choice knowt offers for a week straight and got a 5. without this app I would've gotten a 2 😭🙏

100% worth downloading

I just got my scores back and I passed all 5 APs because of knowt. Even with cramming last minute. 🥳

knowt literally saved me

starstarstarstarstar

i got a 5!! having the MCQ practice was amazing. the prompts for the written portion were so nice; they were challenging yet easy to understand and were similar to the ones on the test.

i could marry this app

starstarstarstarstar

thought i had no hope in passing my APs but after I downloaded this app not even 15 days before the exam i somehow managed to get a 4 on ap macro?? this app does miracles

saved by ap score

starstarstarstarstar

OH MY GOD THIS JS THE MOST USEFUL APP EVER. when i was studying for my ap test it was so useful to be able to have it auto grade frq's and give unique mcq's cause the college board ones are so repetitive.

I love it

starstarstarstarstar

My favorite part about this app is the practice multiple choice tests. Not only are you able to customize the tests to include specific units and material, but you're also able to see why an answer is correct or incorrect.
