Covid-19 Updates and Review

AP Physics 1 Exam: May 14 at 4pm: Students will have 25 minutes to read and respond to Question 1, and then 5 minutes to upload their response. After uploading the response to Question 1, students will have 15 minutes to respond to Question 2, with 5 additional minutes to upload their response to Question 2. Once their response to Question 1 has been submitted, they cannot go back to it.

Question 1 - 60%; Qualitative/Quantitative Translation question - This question assesses students' ability to translate between quantitative and qualitative justification and reasoning.

Question 2 - 40%; Paragraph Argument Short Answer question - This question type assesses students' ability to create a paragraph-length response, which consists of a coherent argument about a physics phenomenon that uses the information presented in the question and proceeds in a logically expository fashion to arrive at a conclusion.

As on a traditional AP Exam, students will require access to the AP Physics 1 formula sheet, as appropriate, and should access and/or print it before the exam.

Questions on the 2020 AP Physics 1 Exam are designed such that required calculations can be done with a pencil and paper, with no calculator (including one with graphical or statistical capabilities) required. However, use of a calculator is allowed and may be helpful. Simple ("four-function") calculators are freely available as apps for computers and phones (i.e. most or all internet-connected devices), and can be installed beforehand for use on the exam.
