AP Physics
AP Physics Class Information Webpage...
This class is designed to prepare students to take the AP Physics B exam and the AP Physics C Mechanics exam. The Physics B exam is algebra/trig based and covers a wide variety of physics topics. The Physics C exam is said to be calculus based (although very little calculus is used), is more in-depth, and is divided into two independent sections: Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism. The scores and cost for each portion of the C exam are completely independent of each other. If a student is unsure about which test they should take they should contact the college they plan to attend. Different colleges have different policies regarding AP credit. Additional note- some college require proof of lab activities to receive lab credit-- keep your lab reports, including labs from Physics 1.
