AP® Physics 1

The AP® Physics Free Response section is composed of 5 questions; you are given 90 minutes to answer them. Knowing the physics is crucial, but beyond that, here are five techniques to minimize errors and maximize points on the AP® Physics Free Response section. We apply all of these techniques to 2015 Free Response Question 1.

Receiving a 2 on the AP® Physics 1 exam can be disheartening, especially when you may have spent months learning difficult material. However, it may be possible to improve your exam score. And while you may feel that a 2 on the AP® Physics I exam is a below average performance, note that over 60% of test-takers scored a 1 or 2 on the 2016 AP® Physics 1 exam.

Fitting an AP® Physics class into your schedule can be very beneficial, however, so it is worth figuring out how hard AP® Physics will be before dismissing this class. In this article, we will go over past scores, analyze the course and exam, and outline some ways to overcome the difficulty of AP® Physics.

In this article, we are going to discuss some basic terms and a set of equations in rotational motion. AP® Physics 1 & 2 Crash Course Review will go through all you need to know about rotation and talk about rotation-related questions in AP® Physics and how those equations apply to solve real test questions.

If you’re reading about torque, you’ve probably already covered work, which measures a force applied that displaces an object in any direction on a Cartesian coordinate system (x/y coordinates). Now, what if we take that same object and rotate it around a fixed axis? When we do that, we are applying a torque on that object.

As part of our study guide for the AP® Physics 1 and AP® Physics 2, we now reveal winning strategies for success on the multiple-choice section. Most students are a little overwhelmed to say the least, when faced with 50 physics multiple-choice questions. However, if you take our advice, study carefully and work consistently, you’ll dramatically increase your chances of scoring a 5!
