AP Physics 1 Prep: Format & Free Practice
AP Physics 1 is an algebra-based, college-level physics exam scored 1–5. Here's what it covers after the 2024 redesign and how it's structured — with free COSMIQ practice that emphasizes reasoning and experimental design.
COSMIQ prepares you for the AP Physics 1 and administers realistic full-length mock tests — it does not administer the official test.
Frequently asked
What does AP Physics 1 cover?
Algebra-based introductory physics across eight units — kinematics, forces and dynamics, energy, momentum, torque and rotation, oscillations, and fluids. After the 2024 redesign, waves, optics, and circuits moved to AP Physics 2.
Is AP Physics 1 practice on COSMIQ free?
Yes. AP practice on COSMIQ is free — voice tutoring, a smart board, and realistic practice questions, with no card required.
