Study Notes began as a way for the founder to share his Advanced Placement notes with his classmates.2 But it grew to include the notes of his classmates as well, covering three courses: AP English, U.S. History, and U.S. Government.3 The tool currently supports seven AP courses.
In 2014, Study Notes began offering a database of sample college essays for prospective college applicants to use for inspiration during their essay writing.
Study Notes releases the custom software which powers the site on GitHub under the GNU General Public License version 3, for anyone to learn from and contribute to.4
