Free AP Physics 1 diagnostic
Free AP Physics 1 practice test
15 questions from all eight units in 30 minutes. Then your score in each unit and a short lesson on the one to fix first.
- Four-option multiple choice, at the pace of Section I.
- A calculator and the equation sheet (g = 9.8 m/s²) are allowed, as on the exam. No account.
- Move back and forth and flag questions.
The real exam
| Unit | Share of Section I |
|---|---|
| Unit 1: Kinematics | 10–15% |
| Unit 2: Force and Translational Dynamics | 18–23% |
| Unit 3: Work, Energy, and Power | 18–23% |
| Unit 4: Linear Momentum | 10–15% |
| Unit 5: Torque and Rotational Dynamics | 10–15% |
| Unit 6: Energy and Momentum of Rotating Systems | 5–8% |
| Unit 7: Oscillations | 5–8% |
| Unit 8: Fluids | 10–15% |
Section I: 42 multiple-choice questions in 85 minutes. Section II: 4 free-response questions in 95 minutes. Each section is half the score, and a calculator and the equation sheet are allowed on both.
What your result means
You get questions right in each unit, so you can see where to start. AP scores from 1 to 5 come from College Board's own conversion of both sections.
