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

UnitShare of Section I
Unit 1: Kinematics10–15%
Unit 2: Force and Translational Dynamics18–23%
Unit 3: Work, Energy, and Power18–23%
Unit 4: Linear Momentum10–15%
Unit 5: Torque and Rotational Dynamics10–15%
Unit 6: Energy and Momentum of Rotating Systems5–8%
Unit 7: Oscillations5–8%
Unit 8: Fluids10–15%

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.
