AP Physics provides students with an understanding of the principles of Physics while strengthening their foundation. The AP Physics course is divided into two distinct parts with a year’s prep time needed for most students. The time is essential for students to get answers to all their questions related to Science and learn the subject. Initially known as Physics B, it has been replaced with AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2.

AP Physics 1 includes the Physics curriculum taught in the first semester of College. The course is Algebra based and includes mechanics, power, work & energy. Students are also introduced to electrical circuits in course of the year. They learn Physics in the classroom and by hands on activities to develop a better understanding of theories.

AP Physics 2 is similar to the College course taught in the second semester. It is also Algebra based and helps students to learn about electricity and magnetism; thermodynamics; fluid mechanics and atomic & nuclear physics.

You do not have to complete a Physics course in high school to enrol for AP Physics course. It would certainly help if you learnt geometry and Algebra II in school, however. The expert Physics tutors at eTutorWorld will help you by teaching how to use basic trigonometric functions.

You can go on to AP Physics 2 after successfully taking the AP Physics exam or right after finishing the Physics 1 course. You can also choose to take AP Physics 2 directly after an equivalent introductory course in Physics. Learn with a LIVE Online tutor to make course work easier. You will also learn to master the nuances of Pre-calculus by studying with qualified and experienced Physics tutors online.

AP Physics 1

AP Physics 1 course is divided into 10 units for ease of study. Your teacher or tutor may organize the content in the manner they find fit. You are advised to devote the right amount of time for each topic by glancing at the percentage of questions expected from each unit. This will help you in acing the exam.

There are multiple courses available for students hoping to take an Advanced Placement exam in Physics. It is natural to be puzzled about the best course to take or the order of taking multiple exams. You need to be guided by an expert for picking the right course. Feel free to turn to a Physics tutor at eTutorWorld and prepare for the exams right away. Here are a few choices to consider…

It is best to go for a regular Physics course in High School first. This will help you to understand the basic concepts. Next, take AP Physics 2 and prepare yourself for College.

Take AP Physics 1 if you do not wish to pursue Physics in College. Learning the fundamentals of Physics and taking the exam successfully will give you an edge in the competition to your dream college. The College Board recommends AP Physics 1 course for students keen on studying Pre-Med, life sciences or Geology. You can always go ahead and take AP Physics 2 afterwards when you want to continue studying Physics in College.
