Who Should Take AP Physics?
- Students interested in engineering, physics, chemistry, computer science, or other STEM majors that require strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Learners aiming to earn college credit, advanced placement, or strengthen their college applications.
- Anyone seeking to develop critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, and experimental analysis skills for academic or professional growth.
College Credit
Many U.S. colleges grant credit or advanced placement for high AP Physics 2 scores (usually a 4 or 5). This can satisfy introductory physics or lab course requirements, allowing students to progress to higher-level physics, engineering, or STEM courses earlier in their college curriculum.
