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

AI Thread Summary
Users are seeking previous years' AP Physics C exams for practice, particularly for the Mechanics section, as their midterms will simulate the actual AP exam format. One user, Antiderivative, claims to have all AP C exams and solutions since 1974 and is willing to share them in Microsoft Word and PDF formats. Many participants are requesting specific years' free response questions and solutions, especially from 1995 to 1997, but some express concerns about the ethics of using past exams for study. While some suggest checking College Board for resources, others note that older exams may not be available there. The discussion highlights a strong community desire for access to past exam materials to enhance preparation for upcoming tests.

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!

Hey Antiderivative, could you please send me those exams too if it's not too much trouble for you? thanks!
 
  • #13
oohh

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
actually anyone got these solutions?

it would be beneficial to me if anyone who has the 1995 free response solutions would be able to send them to me at lunarskull@yahoo.com. thanks in advance:biggrin: asap please. haha like tomorrow morning :D

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:
Code:

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!

help

hey antiderivative, could you send all of the physics C solutions you have to my email please? physicsCHS@gmail.com thanks!
 
  • #37
A note to the mentors, perhaps it may be an idea to delete the personal e-mail adresses?
 
  • #38
If Antiderivative or anyone he has sent all the questions and answers to would be kinda enough to send them to me at AKnight2324@gmail.com it would be most appreciated.

From someone who's tried finding past AP exams...

If you're having trouble finding them, don't worry about it. Understanding the material is more important than getting the exact questions in hand. For this reason, I recommend that you get an AP Physics review book and do all the practice questions/exams in that. Doing so should be an excellent indicator of how you will perform on the AP exam.

If your goal is to get a 5, working from review books should be more than enough for your purposes. Of course, if you have a real test or two, it doesn't hurt to take them as well.
