Click any stage on the left to see exactly what you get. No fluff. No filler.

Stage 1 · Diagnose

15 questions. Your map.

Sia pulls from the Library — official past AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based papers analyzed by our content team. You take a 15-question diagnostic. Sia returns a topic frequency × your accuracy map. Now you know exactly where every point lives.

Things People Ask

Quick answers.

Three things must be true: (1) you used Sia at least 8 hrs/week for 32 weeks, (2) you completed all 5 stages, (3) your official AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based score landed below the target you set in onboarding. Then: 100% refund, processed within 30 days.
Conceptual reasoning over plug-and-chug. Most students prep formulas; AP Phys 1 tests intuition. Sia trains the 'predict the answer before calculating' habit that distinguishes 5-scorers from 2-scorers.
Built for it. The Sia interface runs in Korean, Chinese, Spanish, and Japanese. All sessions are async — no live class times to chase. International cohort: 22 countries strong.
Phys 1 is algebra-based; Phys C is calculus-based. Phys C is harder but only ~half the topic coverage of Phys 1. For pre-med: Phys 1 + 2. For engineering: Phys C: Mech + E&M. Sia maps your major to the right exam.
Princeton Review Premium sells content. AskSia sells the outcome. You pay $149, we promise your AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based target — or 100% refund. Princeton Review Premium doesn't make that promise. That's the difference.
Often. About 40% of our students say their school's AP class doesn't cover the FRQ rubric well. Sia's cheat sheets + FRQ archetype drill close the rubric gap regardless of teacher quality.
