YOUR GUIDE TO USING THIS BOOK
This book is organized to provide as much—or as little—support as you
need, so you can use this book in whatever way will be most helpful for
improving your score on the AP Physics 1 Exam.
The remainder of Part I will provide guidance on how to use this
book and help you determine your strengths and weaknesses.
Part II of this book contains your first practice test, answers and
explanations, and a scoring guide. (Bubble sheets can be found in
the very back of the book for easy tear-out.) This is where you
should begin your test preparation in order to realistically
determine:
your starting point right now
which question types you’re ready for and which you might
need to practice
which content topics you are familiar with and which you will
want to carefully review
Once you have nailed down your strengths and weaknesses with
regard to this exam, you can focus your preparation and be
efficient with your time.
Part III of this book will:
provide information about the structure, scoring, and content
of the AP Physics 1 Exam
help you to make a study plan
point you toward additional resources
Part IV of this book will explore the following strategies:

Loading page 19...

how to attack multiple-choice questions
how to approach free-response questions
how to manage your time to maximize the number of points
available to you
Part V of this book covers the content you need to know for the
AP Physics 1 Exam.
Part VI of this book contains Practice Tests 2, 3, and 4, their
answers and explanations, and a scoring guide. (Bubble sheets can
be found in the very back of the book for easy tear-out.) If you
skipped Practice Test 1, we recommend that you do all four (with
at least a day or two between them) so that you can compare your
progress between them. Additionally, this will help to identify any
external issues: if you get a certain type of question wrong more
than once, you probably need to review it. If you got it wrong only
once, you may have run out of time or been distracted by
something. In either case, comparing the results of your practice
tests will allow you to focus on the factors that caused the
discrepancy in scores and to be as prepared as possible on the day
of the test.
You may choose to use some parts of this book over others, or you may
work through the entire book. This will depend on your needs and how
much time you have.

HOW TO BEGIN
1. Take a Test
Before you can decide how to use this book, you need to take a
practice test. Doing so will give you insight into your strengths
and weaknesses, and the test will also help you make an effective
study plan. If you’re feeling test-phobic, remind yourself that a
practice test is a tool for diagnosing yourself—it’s not how well
you do that matters but how you use information gleaned from
your performance to guide your preparation.
So, before you read further, take AP Physics 1 Practice Test 1
starting at this page of this book. Be sure to do so in one sitting,
following the instructions that appear before the test.
2. Check Your Answers
Using the answer key on this page, count the number of multiple-
choice questions you got right and how many you missed. Don’t
worry about the explanations for now, and don’t worry about why
you missed questions. We’ll get to that soon.
Diagnostic Answer Key
The answer key for Practice Test 1 provides the
chapter number(s) in which each question topic or
concept is covered. Use this diagnostic answer key
to identify the content chapters of this book in which
you missed the most questions, as that may present
you with a good place to begin your review.
3. Reflect on the Test
After you take your first test, respond to the following questions:
How much time did you spend on the multiple-choice

Loading page 21...

questions?
How much time did you spend on each free-response
question?
How many multiple-choice questions did you miss?
Do you feel you had the conceptual understanding to address
the subject matter of the free-response questions?
4. Read Part III of this Book and Make your Study Plan
As discussed in the Guide section, Part III will provide
information on how the test is structured and scored. It will also
set out areas of content that are tested.
As you read Part III, re-evaluate your answers to the questions in
section 3. At the end of Part III, you will revisit and refine the
answers. You will then be able to make a study plan, based on
your needs and the time available, that will allow you to use this
book most effectively.
5. Engage with Parts IV and V as Needed
Notice the word engage. You’ll get more out of this book if you
use it intentionally than if you read it passively, hoping for an
improved score through osmosis.
Strategy chapters will help you think about your approach to the
question types on this exam. Part IV opens with a reminder to
think about how you approach questions now and then closes
with a reflection section asking you to think about how/whether
you will change your approach in the future.
Part V is designed to provide a review of the content tested on the
AP Physics 1 Exam, including the level of detail you need to know
and how the content is tested. You will have the opportunity to

Loading page 22...

assess your mastery of the content of each chapter through test-
appropriate questions and a reflection section.
6. Take Practice Test 2 and Assess Your Performance
Once you feel you have developed the strategies you need and
gained the knowledge you lacked, you should take Practice Test 2,
which begins on this page. You should do so in one sitting,
following the instructions at the beginning of the test.
When you are done, check your answers to the multiple-choice
sections. Approach a teacher to read your essays and provide
feedback.
Once you have taken the test, reflect on those areas you still need
to improve upon, and revisit the respective chapters. Through
this reflective and engaging approach, you will continue to
improve.
7. Keep Working
After you have revisited certain chapters, continue the process of
testing, reflection, and engaging with the next practice test in this
book. Consider what additional work you need to do and how you
will change your strategic approach to adapt to different parts of
the test.
As we will discuss in Part III, there are other resources available
to you, including a wealth of information on AP Students, the
official homepage for all things AP. You should continue to
explore areas that can stand to improve right up to the day of the
test.

Instructions
Section I of this examination contains 50 multiple-choice questions.
Fill in only the ovals for numbers 1 through 50 on your answer sheet.
CALCULATORS MAY BE USED ON BOTH SECTIONS OF THE AP
PHYSICS 1 EXAM.
Indicate all of your answers to the multiple-choice questions on the
answer sheet. No credit will be given for anything written in this exam
booklet, but you may use the booklet for notes or scratch work. Please
note that there are two types of multiple-choice questions: single-
select and multi-select questions. After you have decided which of the
suggested answers is best, completely fill in the corresponding oval(s)
on the answer sheet. For single-select, you must give only one answer;

Loading page 27...

for multi-select you must give BOTH answers in order to earn credit. If
you change an answer, be sure that the previous mark is erased
completely. Here is a sample question and answer.
Sample Question
Chicago is a
(A) state
(B) city
(C) country
(D) continent
Sample Answer
Use your time effectively, working as quickly as you can without losing
accuracy. Do not spend too much time on any one question. Go on to
other questions and come back to the ones you have not answered if
you have time. It is not expected that everyone will know the answers
to all the multiple-choice questions.
About Guessing
Many candidates wonder whether or not to guess the answers to
questions about which they are not certain. Multiple-choice scores are
based on the number of questions answered correctly. Points are not
deducted for incorrect answers, and no points are awarded for
unanswered questions. Because points are not deducted for incorrect
answers, you are encouraged to answer all multiple-choice questions.
On any questions you do not know the answer to, you should eliminate
as many choices as you can, and then select the best answer among the
remaining choices.
