Please help I am like at 4 and need a 5!! What shojld I do all day (8 hours) to get a 5??

Anyone else taking it?

What should I focus on the most. I havnt rlly reviewed much recently and I lowk still havnt finished unit 8. What comes up the most on the exams and do I focus on mcqs or frqs. Does anyone have any college board questions I could practice with.

how were the MCQs compared the AP Classroom practice tests? how did you do on the AP Classroom practice tests as compared to how you think you did on the AP exam? for context, I was scheduled to take the AP test this year but I couldn’t fckn take it bcz I’m stupid and arrived late 😭 so I have to take it next year instead

thanks guys ! 😊

I know that exams have just ended and all that stuff...

ON MAY 26, I WILL BE POSTING A SPEEDRUN OF THE ENTIRE AP PHYSICS C Curriculum (Including Mechanics and E&M).

I don't have any more things to say
Will keep you guys updated.

im taking the ap physics 1 make-up exam this friday and every time i practice i just mess up on the frqs bc im using the wrong equations? (like using a=r(alpha) instead of t=I(alpha) when asked to set up an equation for alpha) my problem isn't so much the material as it is recognizing what equations to use and when, and i was wondering if anyone had any tips

thank you in advance!!

Hey guys so at my school for some reason AP phys c's were offered but not AP physics 1, though dual physics was offered. Is it a good idea to take dual phys and self study for AP phys 1????

i took ap physics 1 this year and next year i'll be taking ap physics c mechanics (as a 1 semester course). i was wondering about how similar/different they are, so like which units/topics will be the most different/hardest to learn, and which will be the most similar/easiest to learn? thanks

Im self studying for ap physics 1 so I dont have
access to ap classroom practice exams. Is there anyone can send me ap classroom practise exams mcqs and frqs pleaseee🙏🙏🙏 (or any college board exams about physics 1)

Also I have princton review book. Is the practice exams (specially mcqs) in the book similar to ap questions? Im kinda paranoid about the exam 😞😞

MCQ: 35/40

Form J

FRQ 1: 4/10

FRQ 2: 6:12

FRQ 3: 9/10

FRQ 4: 3/8

Version K
Mcqs-30/40
Frqs
1-9/10
2-9/12
3-8/10
4-4/8

Overall: 60/80
Is that a 5 likely?

is this the correct resultant for the question? I understand the part the first and second section (where the slope is 0 and is +2 from x axis), but I dont get why it would be -2 after that. Shouldn't it be +6 since it's constructive?

I’ll be taking calc bc same time

Hey guys! So I haven’t touched ap physics 1 like review in like 2 months since my teacher was on leave so I have 6 days left till the make up test. What should I do in the next 6 days to get a 5? I’m pretty lost

MCQ: ~ 25-30 correct. Being a bit conservative here.

FRQ 1: 5/10
FRQ 2: 8/12
FRQ 3: 8/10
FRQ 4: 6/8

My FRQ was lowkey easy but I managed to fumble by making simple mistakes across the frq and overall not being very locked in. Looking back I made silly errors that kinda snowballed.

I'll start with AP Physics 1, because that's the one I took:

MCQ's: 1-1.5/10

Would be a 1, but any chance for a 40/40 is gone because I forgot how to calculate a system's rotational inertia with point masses. Finished in 30 minutes.

FRQ's: 3-3.5/10

Not hard, but relative to MCQ's, it was significantly harder.

Problems were intimidating at first (Especially FRQ 4 with the spinning toys.), but after taking 5 minutes to think it through, they were not as hard as it seems.

So far I've heard that Mech was like this as well, but Physics 2/E&M had easier FRQ's relative to MCQ's.

Any thoughts?

Is it just me?
