AP Physics

AP Physics is a series of college-level courses and exams offered by the College Board. The exams are designed to be equivalent to introductory physics courses in college, and passing them can potentially earn a student college credit or advanced placement.

There are four distinct AP Physics courses and exams:
AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based
AP Physics 2: Algebra-Based
AP Physics C: Mechanics
AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism
