AP Physics is a challenging Advanced Placement Physics program designed by the College Board to introduce students to college-level physics concepts while still in high school. The AP Physics curriculum develops strong analytical thinking, mathematical reasoning, and problem-solving skills—essential for STEM-focused university programs.
At Princeton Review Singapore, we offer expert guidance for all AP Physics courses, including algebra-based physics and calculus-based physics, helping students prepare confidently for the AP Physics test and earn college credit.
Schedule Free ConsultationAP Physics is a college-level physics course that explores fundamental principles such as motion, forces, energy, waves, electricity, and magnetism. Students can choose from four different AP Physics courses based on their mathematical background and academic goals.
📌 What do you learn in AP Physics?
Students learn how physical laws govern the natural world through mathematical models, experiments, and real-world applications.
📌 Is AP Physics accepted for college credit?
Yes. Many universities award college credit or advanced placement based on AP Physics exam scores.
The College Board AP Physics program consists of four distinct courses:
AP Physics 1 is an algebra-based physics course focused on classical mechanics.
AP Physics 1 Topics & Units:
AP Physics 2 is also an algebra-based physics course, covering a broader range of topics beyond mechanics.
AP Physics 2 Topics to Know:
AP Physics C: Mechanics is a calculus-based physics course designed for students with a strong mathematics background.
AP Physics C Mechanics Topics:
AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism focuses on electrical and magnetic phenomena using calculus.
