Frequently asked questions

I've watched Khan Academy and YouTube and still freeze on the test — how is this different? +

Videos teach you to recognize a solution when someone else works through it. They don't make you produce one yourself, on a blank page, under time pressure — and that's exactly what the exam asks for. Calculus Starships is the opposite of watching: you do real AB/BC and college Calc 1 and 2 problems, get an instant right-or-wrong check, and keep going until starting any problem is automatic. You've already done the watching — this is where you do the reps.

Is this like Photomath or Symbolab — does it just give me the answer? +

No — it's the opposite. Those apps hand you the answer, but on exam day there's no app, just your pencil. Calculus Starships gives you the problem and an instant green check that tells you whether you got it, so you build the skill instead of borrowing the answer. It's practice you own, not answers you rent.

I'm not a math person — will this actually work for me? +

That feeling is usually the course's design, not your ceiling. Calculus is used as a weed-out class almost everywhere, and even strong students lose confidence in it — the blank-page freeze is your working memory locking up under pressure, not a lack of ability. The fix isn't more talent, it's enough reps that the patterns become automatic. Calculus Starships gives you a place to get a problem wrong as many times as it takes, until you can't freeze.

How does the $100 score guarantee work? +

If you complete the full Calculus Starships program and still don't get the result, we refund you 100% and send you $100 cash. To qualify you must finish all four requirements (master every core notecard deck to Gold Mastery, complete 100% of the learning modules, reach the rank of Captain on the Exam Generator, and submit proof you scored below a 5 on the AP exam or below an A in your class). Full terms are on the guarantee page.

What does the $79 price include? +

The $79 is a one-time payment for lifetime access to everything in Calculus Starships: all 10 AP Calculus units, every interactive simulation, the 45-question AP exam simulator, and the spaced-repetition notecard decks. There is no subscription and no recurring fee.

Is there a subscription or recurring fee? +

No. Calculus Starships is a single $79 one-time payment for lifetime access. There are no subscriptions, no renewals, and no hidden fees.

Does it cover both AP Calculus AB and BC? +

Yes. Calculus Starships covers both AP Calculus AB and BC. You pick your track (AB or BC), and BC-only topics such as parametric, polar, and infinite series are included for BC students; the exam simulator weights questions to the College Board CED unit percentages for whichever track you choose.

Can I get a refund? +

Yes. Every purchase comes with an unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee — if you're not satisfied within 30 days, you get a full refund, no proof and no questions required. This is separate from the $100 score guarantee, which refunds you in full and adds $100 cash if you finish the program and still don't hit your target score.

Can I use it on my phone and my laptop? +

Yes. Calculus Starships runs in your web browser, so you can use it on a phone, tablet, or laptop. You sign in to one account and your progress and notecard schedule sync across your devices.

Who is Calculus Starships for? +

Calculus Starships is built for AP Calculus AB and BC students, college students taking Calculus 1 or 2, and self-learners studying calculus on their own. The same lifetime account covers all three — you choose AP, college, or self-study when you start.

Does it work alongside my class or textbook? +

Yes. Calculus Starships is designed to work with any class, professor, or textbook. It adds unlimited exam-style practice, step-by-step worked solutions, interactive simulations, and spaced-repetition notecards on top of whatever curriculum you're already following.

Why this exists

Calculus Starships was built by a founder who failed first-year calculus, taught it to themselves from scratch, and went on to pass two professional actuarial exams. It's the visual, interactive, gamified calculus app they wish they'd had — every hard concept turned into a mission you can see and manipulate before you memorize it.
