Our AP Physics 2 course is designed to build upon the foundations established in AP Physics 1, diving deeper into advanced algebra-based physics concepts. This comprehensive program covers the remaining four Big Ideas from the College Board curriculum, including fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, and quantum, atomic, and nuclear physics.
AP Physics 2 is equivalent to a second-semester college course in algebra-based physics. The course emphasizes conceptual understanding, mathematical reasoning, and the application of physics principles to solve complex, real-world problems. Students will develop advanced analytical skills and gain exposure to modern physics concepts that form the foundation for further study in physics, engineering, and related fields.
Required: Successful completion of AP Physics 1 or equivalent first-year physics course
Mathematics: Strong foundation in algebra, trigonometry, and basic logarithms
Recommended: Some exposure to exponential functions and basic calculus concepts (though not required)
Exam Date: May 2026 | Duration: 3 hours | Format: Multiple Choice (50%) + Free Response (50%)
The exam tests deep conceptual understanding and the ability to apply physics principles across multiple contexts, with emphasis on mathematical reasoning and laboratory skills.
Access to all live session recordings for review and reinforcement at your own pace
24/7 support for quick questions and clarifications outside of scheduled sessions
Regular assessments under exam conditions to track progress and build exam confidence
