15 AP Physics 1 Tips: How to Get a 4 or 5 in 2022 | Albert

This video goes over 15 AP Physics 1 tips for overall studying, the multiple-choice section, as well as the free response (FRQ) section to help you pass the 2022 AP Physics 1 exam. We go over tons of general AP Physics 1 study tips and test taking strategies to jumpstart your AP exam prep on your way to scoring a 5.

Here is a quick preview of some of the AP Physics 1 tips we go over:

0:00 - Introduction to 15 AP Physics 1 Tips: How to Get a 4 or 5

0:46 - 5 AP Physics 1 Study Tips for Home:
1. Practice and review your math skills.
2. Purchase a quality calculator that includes all of the common constants.
3. Understand the amazing and comprehensive equation table that the College Board provides for you here.
4. Memorize common physics formulas that are NOT on the equation sheet
5. Take the time to review fundamental physics concepts

3:56 - 5 AP Physics 1 Multiple Choice Study Tips
1. Draw diagrams for everything, especially problems involving force and vector algebra.
2. Read the question and ALL answer choices.
3. Master the relationship between work, energy and power—key concepts for the conservation of energy.
4. Answer every question, even guessing if you have to.
5. Focus the bulk of your practice on heavily-weighted topics:
For example, these topics appear the most in the multiple choice section.
- Energy (16-24%)
- Dynamics (12-18%)
- Mechanical Waves and Sound (12-16%)

6:57 - 5 AP Physics 1 FRQ Study Tips
1. Read through all 5 questions first and tackle the “easiest” one.
2. Support your answers with thorough explanations.
3. Understand the Task Verbs and do exactly as asked.
4. As you practice, read through the scoring guidelines thoroughly.
5. If you cannot do question (a) of a multi-part free response question, carry on!

good luck to anyone taking the exam tomorrow! i’m prepared to cry.

Man I got my AP physics test in two days (May 5, 2021) and my teacher only taught through recordings of his class from like 3 years ago with 480p quality... pray for me ima get clapped

[benboyer]

My test is tomorrow, the curriculum has changed quite a bit but I feel that these tips will help.

Best of luck to anyone taking their test soon

The tips are great but I would make an updated video adjusting slightly since the curriculum changed vastly in 2020 I believe. Going over three practice tests, both MCQ and FRQ, I found that along with an Energy and Dynamics heavy test, Momentum, conservation of momentum, collisions, and the like replaced Sound and Mechanical waves as these topics have been removed from the course curriculum.

Additionally, going over practice tests in preparation for my own test, I found that these topics show up constantly on FRQ sections:

- A rotating body, describe its motion
- Collisions, conservation of momentum
- Kinematics, and Projectile motion ( I found these popular with experimental design questions)
- motion (there's usually at least part of an FRQ dedicated to this)
- Simple Harmonic Motion (again, shows up most of the time at least in part of an FRQ)

Other than small adjustments, thanks for the advice!

How do I explain to College Board that we’ve only learned 2 of the 8 units in the class?

[meparkpa]

good luck to anyone taking it thursday

[LandeezXD]

Taking the test tomorrow hopefully I can get a 5 :)

[EDeeseLex]

Thank you, Albert, for the great tips. I am an aspiring meteorologist and plan on taking AP Physics I during my senior year in high school. I am studying for it ahead of time so I have a background knowledge before I actually get into the class.

[yessirmate]

Literally doing this the morning of fml

[smokeybrown]

I haven’t even started ap physic 1, and I’m getting chills.

[davadid]

Yeah I’m screwed. Test is tomorrow, haven’t even studied. Best of luck to everyone taking the AP Physics 1 exam!

[divinaelbo]

Great tips! Do you have a video on tips or strategies for digital exam on June 9th, where students are not able to go back to the previous MCQs and FRQs?

[muqtasidbaig]

im a grade 8 student giving AP physics in 3 days. I was terrified at first, but now i'm excited.

[larryk]

Just finished the test 2 hours ago it wasn’t bad y’all as long as you watched the ap review sessions and did practixe

[ratnuggetsandcharcoal]

USE KFES! Works for almost ANY MCQ or FRQ.

K - Write what you [K]now
F - Write what you need to [F]ind
E - Write any [E]quations that include variables from [K] or [F]
S - [S]olve dat thing

[TrulyJason]

Bro my test is tomorrow and I did not do a thing this whole year ;/

[shubhamagarwal]

Where is the annotated version of the formula sheet

[lukefehlis]

I’m watching an hour away from the test

[ngocthientrangnguyen]

i want a 5 but i have not seriously studied for months

[bluemango]

im watchin this 15 min before the exam
