Anyone know where I can get previous years' AP Physics C exams?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers around students seeking access to previous years' AP Physics C exams, particularly the Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism sections. User "antiderivative" claims to possess all AP C exams and solutions from 1974 onward, available in Microsoft Word and PDF formats. Many users request specific years, especially the 1995 free response solutions, while others express frustration over the lack of availability on the College Board website. The conversation highlights the importance of practice exams for effective preparation ahead of the AP exam.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of AP Physics C exam structure and content.
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Word and PDF file formats.
  • Knowledge of AP exam preparation strategies.
  • Basic email communication skills for requesting materials.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "AP Physics C exam preparation strategies."
  • Explore resources for "AP Physics review books" that include practice questions.
  • Investigate "College Board AP exam archives" for available past exams.
  • Learn about "effective study techniques for AP exams" to maximize retention and understanding.
USEFUL FOR

AP Physics C students, educators preparing students for the AP exam, and anyone seeking comprehensive practice materials for AP Physics C Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism.

My midterm is basically going to simulate a real AP exam. So I was wondering if anyone knew where I can get previous year's AP physics C Mechanics exams so I can practice. Thanks a lot.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
buuummmmmppp
 
I have all of the AP C Exams and solutions since 1974 if you want those.
 
Princeton Review sells the AP exams in bookstores :)
 
antiderivative, u're a god! Please share the wealth.
 
antiderivative, what format do u have those tests in?
 
Tests are in Microsoft Word documents, solutions are in .pdf files. I'll try to email them to you.
 
Hey Antiderivative, do you think you can send me the 1995 AP Physics C: Mechanics free response solutions? Thanks in advance.
 
The www.collegeboard.com website might have some past exams.

I don't remember if they're actual exams or just sample exams.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I checked collegeboard and they don't have the older exams...maybe they're archived somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.

Antiderivative, would you mind emailing me those tests? I'm an AP Physics C student right now and preparing for the exam and the more practice the better!

Thank you!

antiderivative any chance you could also send me the free reponse questions and solutions from 1995-1997? this would be useful as the collegboard doesn't have them anymore
 
  • #14

Hey there- I read that some of you have the tests and answers to the AP exams from back in '74 up to now, and was wondering if someone would mind sending them to me? If you can do this, please send me a PM.

I would appreciate it more than you'll ever know =)

How about Antiderivative puts them on this board out of his own kindness. No pressure, just a thought.
 
  • #23
What about APB exams?

And antiderivative, you should upload a zip file up on to yousendit, then post the link in code tags like this:

EDIT - Just saw how old this thread is, it doesn't look good guys

Please?

Hi, my midterm is going to be like the 1974, 1984, 1988, and 1993 exams. If you could please send them to me, I would be forever grateful!

Could you either attach them or email me?

Surely that's just cheating! There's no point in doing an exam if you know the answers beforehand- it's just a waste of time, and reduces the exam to a simple memory test?! You won't benefit from this in future study!

I will also be having an AP-based midterm and have been google-searching for hours and haven't been able to find anything.:frown:
I'd really appreciate it if anyone had past APs beyond those on Collegeboard, I don't even need solutions, just questions to practice. Thank you!
