Our Mission

One Test Should Never Stand Between You and Your Future.

Florida Civics Prep exists to get every Florida student past the FCLE — with the knowledge, skill, and attitude to do it with confidence. So one exam never stands between a student and a diploma or degree.

What We're Here to Do

Our Mission

Florida Civics Prep is committed to building — and continuously improving — effective, exam-focused learning for Florida's diverse communities of students.

We're dedicated to giving high school and college students the knowledge, skill, and attitude they deserve when it comes to passing the Florida Civic Literacy Exam. Not memorization. Not luck. A real plan, real strategy, and the confidence to use both on exam day.

From the Founder

Why I Built Florida Civics Prep

I wasn't a natural test-taker. I was a B-track kid with learning disabilities who got pulled out of class for extra help — and who bombed plenty of tests growing up. What changed everything wasn't getting smarter. It was learning how tests actually work — and having someone believe I could do it.

My mom fought to keep me in mainstream classes when the school wanted to track me down. She believed in me. Now I believe in students.

Years later, teaching at UCF, I watched the same scene every semester: a group of students in the back of the room with flashcards, quizzing each other, panicking — "none of these questions look like anything on the test." They knew the material. They were still failing. That's not a knowledge problem. It's a strategy and confidence problem. So I built the fix.

That's why Florida Civics Prep exists. I don't take the test for you — I put you in the best position to pass: the strategy to break down the questions, and the confidence to trust yourself when it counts. Because confidence is built, not born.

How We Deliver on It

What We Stand For

Quality Content & Real Practice

Aligned to the Florida Department of Education competencies — we teach the content, cut test anxiety, and equip students with the strategies that actually pass this exam.

Engaging, Interactive Learning

Built on Dr. Ampel's Curriculum & Instruction expertise: an interactive video boot camp designed to reach diverse learners — not a wall of boring slides.

Built by Teachers

Designed by educators with decades in the classroom, reverse-engineered from the FCLE blueprint — by people who know how these questions are written.

Real Support

First-attempt success is the goal. Students get direct access to Andy Wade and Dr. Ampel through our private FCLE Facebook group and email support.

"Anyone can do this when they push themselves and get their mind right. I'm living proof. Confidence is built, not born."
