How the AP Physics C tests work
Each test has 8 questions, 20 marks and a planned time of 40 or 45 minutes, with at least one calculation and one explanation, and the calculus is part of the question, not an optional extra. They run from “motion with derivatives and integrals” to “faraday's law, inductors and LR circuits” and pause on the chapters where students often lose marks: “centre of mass, impulse and momentum with calculus”, “orbits, escape speed and gravitational energy” and “Biot–Savart, ampère and magnetic sources”. The mark scheme gives a model answer for every question and the marks for each step, so a student can see which line of a derivation earns which mark. Use single tests after a chapter, or combine several for a mock exam. They follow the AP Physics C lessons and worksheets.

Frequently asked questions
Who are the AP Physics C tests for?
They suit US high school students preparing for the AP Physics C exams who already use derivatives and integrals. 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 “orbits, escape speed and gravitational energy”.
Can I use the tests as a mock paper?
Yes. Pick the chapters your class has covered, from “motion with derivatives and integrals” 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 C tests on up to 3 devices.
