AP Physics 2: Algebra-Based

This section contains multiple-choice questions that include:

• Individual, single questions
• Questions in sets that refer to the same diagram or data presentation
• Multi-select questions (2 options are correct)

Questions may test your ability to:

• Interpret and describe representations and models
• Use mathematics to solve science problems
• Design an experiment to answer a scientific question or test a hypothesis
• Analyze data and evaluate evidence
• Work with scientific explanations and theories
• Make connections

For the free-response section, credit for answers depends on the quality of the solutions and explanations shown, so be sure to show your work.

This section includes these types of questions:

• Experimental Design (1 question): pertains to designing and describing an investigation, analysis of lab data, and observations to identify patterns or explain phenomena
• Qualitative/Quantitative Translation (1 question): requires you to express a justification or reasoning quantitatively (using numbers, equations, diagrams, etc.) and qualitatively (in words)
• Short Answer (2 questions, 1 requiring a paragraph-length argument)

Questions may test your ability to:

• Interpret and describe representations and models
• Use mathematics to solve science problems
• Design an experiment to answer a scientific question or test a hypothesis
• Analyze data and evaluate evidence
• Work with scientific explanations and theories
• Make connections
