How the AP Physics 2 tests work
A test has 8 questions worth 20 marks and a planned time of 40 or 45 minutes, and contains calculations and explanations in the proportions of AP free-response work. They start with “gas particles, pressure and heat conduction”, finish with “energy levels, radioactive decay and binding energy”, and stop on the topics students find hardest, such as “resistance, Kirchhoff's rules and steady-state RC circuits” for circuits with capacitors and “interference, resonance and the Doppler shift” for interference and the Doppler shift. The mark scheme gives a model answer with the marks awarded, so a teacher can grade quickly and a student can see what a full explanation looks like. Use the tests after each chapter or join several into a mock exam. They follow the AP Physics 2 lessons and worksheets chapter by chapter.

Frequently asked questions
Who are the AP Physics 2 tests for?
They suit US high school students preparing for the AP Physics 2 exam, ideally after a first algebra-based physics course. 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 “magnetic fields of wires and forces on moving charges”.
Can I use the tests as a mock paper?
Yes. Pick the chapters your class has covered, from “gas particles, pressure and heat conduction” 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 2 tests on up to 3 devices.
