Practice to Mastery: AP Physics 2 Practice Exams
Practice to Mastery: AP(R) Physics 2 Practice Exams gives you 12 complete, original practice exams for AP(R) Physics 2: Algebra-Based. Each one follows the structure of the current exam and covers every topic in the course framework, so every sitting is a full rehearsal of test day.
WHAT'S INSIDE
- 12 full-length practice exams with 552 original questions: 504 multiple choice and 48 free response
- Section I of 42 multiple-choice questions in 85 minutes and Section II of 4 free-response questions in 95 minutes, each worth half of the score, just as on the exam
- Every free-response section includes one question of each current type: Mathematical Routines, Translation Between Representations, Experimental Design and Analysis, and Qualitative/Quantitative Translation
- Every exam covers all seven units (Units 9 through 15) and every one of the 46 topics in the course framework
- A reference sheet of constants and conventions at the start of each exam
- The answer key and full explanations right after each exam, not at the back of the book
UNITS COVERED IN EVERY EXAM
- Unit 9: Thermodynamics
- Unit 10: Electric Force, Field, and Potential
- Unit 11: Electric Circuits
- Unit 12: Magnetism and Electromagnetism
- Unit 13: Geometric Optics
- Unit 14: Waves, Sound, and Physical Optics
- Unit 15: Modern Physics
EXPLANATIONS THAT TEACH
Every multiple-choice explanation works the problem from the governing principle to the equation, the substitution with units, and the final result, including direction where it matters. Each explanation is labeled with its unit and topic, and questions that draw on more than one unit are marked, so after every exam you can see at a glance which topics need more work. Every free-response question comes with a point-by-point scoring guide, an example response for each part, and notes on common errors.
REALISTIC AND CAREFULLY CHECKED
Shared-stimulus sets are built around graphs, data tables, circuits, ray diagrams, and energy-level diagrams, as on the real exam. Questions mix routine calculations with multi-step and cross-unit reasoning at a realistic range of difficulty. All content stays within the scope and boundary statements of the current course framework. Numerical answers were checked by calculation, laboratory data were refit, and answer keys are balanced so that no pattern or option length gives the answer away.
HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
Take each exam in one three-hour sitting with a calculator and only the reference information provided. Then review every explanation, including those for questions you answered correctly, and use the unit and topic labels to target your study before the next exam. Spread the 12 exams across the final months of the course for steady, measurable progress.
This book is the companion to Practice to Mastery: AP(R) Physics 2 Workbook, which teaches the course one unit at a time with 1,092 multiple-choice and 46 free-response questions. The two books share no questions.
