AP Physics 2 Prep: Format & Free Practice
AP Physics 2 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.
COSMIQ prepares you for the AP Physics 2 and administers realistic full-length mock tests — it does not administer the official test.
Frequently asked
What does AP Physics 2 cover?
Algebra-based physics across seven units — thermodynamics, electric force and fields, circuits, magnetism and induction, geometric and physical optics, waves and sound, and modern physics. Circuits and waves/optics moved here from Physics 1 in the 2024 redesign.
Is AP Physics 2 practice on COSMIQ free?
Yes. AP practice on COSMIQ is free — voice tutoring, a smart board, and realistic practice questions, with no card required.
