How the AP Physics 1 tests work
Each test has 8 questions worth 20 marks and a planned time of 40 or 45 minutes, and includes at least one calculation and one written explanation, in the style of AP free-response tasks. The set runs from “straight-line motion with graphs and equations” to “density, pressure, buoyancy and moving fluids”, with demanding checkpoints at “elastic and inelastic collisions with centre of mass”, where collisions and the centre of mass meet, and “rotational energy, rolling and angular momentum”, where rotational energy and angular momentum come together. In the mark scheme every question has a model answer and a clear breakdown of marks, so students can see how a complete argument earns its points. Use single tests after each chapter, or combine several for a mock exam. They match the AP Physics 1 lessons and worksheets.
Table of contents
Part 1 holds the 14 tests below, in this order. Part 2 holds the mark scheme of every test, in the same order.

- Friction, slopes, pulleys and springs
- Centripetal acceleration and gravity in orbit
- Work, kinetic energy and the net-work theorem
- Energy conservation, bar charts and power
- Impulse, momentum and force–time graphs
- Elastic and inelastic collisions with centre of mass
- Angular motion, torque and balance
- Rotational inertia and Newton's second law
- Rotational energy, rolling and angular momentum

Frequently asked questions
Who are the AP Physics 1 tests for?
They suit US high school students preparing for the AP Physics 1 exam, and anyone starting physics with algebra but no calculus. Teachers, tutors and independent learners can all use them.
How long is a test and how is it marked?
Each test has 8 questions, totals 20 marks and is planned for 40 or 45 minutes, with a calculator allowed. The mark scheme in Part 2 gives a model answer and the marks for every question, including the test on “impulse, momentum and force–time graphs”.
Can I use the tests as a mock paper?
Yes. Pick the chapters your class has covered, from “straight-line motion with graphs and equations” up to the one you want to include, and add the marks. Every test uses the same 20-mark scale, so totals compare fairly.
Is this a subscription?
No. It is one payment of $9.99 through PayPal, with an instant download of the AP Physics 1 tests on up to 3 devices.
