About this calculator

Tuned for AP Physics 2.

Physics 2 picks up where Physics 1 leaves off, moving through fluids, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics, and modern physics. The exam is split evenly between 42 multiple-choice questions and four free-response questions, and this AP Physics 2 score calculator mirrors that split.

Step 1
Count MCQ correct
Out of 42 questions. This half makes up 50 percent of your composite score.
Step 2
Estimate FRQ scores
Four free-response questions, scored out of 10, 12, 10 and 8 points using the rubric.
Step 3
Press Calculate
We map your composite, out of 100, to a 1 to 5. Roughly 68 earns a 5.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers — written by humans, not a chatbot.

How is Physics 2 different from Physics 1 here?

Physics 2 and Physics 1 now have the same format: 42 multiple-choice questions and four free-response questions each. Pick the right calculator so the multiple-choice cap and weighting match your exam.

Is this for the algebra-based exam?

Yes, this is for AP Physics 2, which is algebra-based. If you are taking the calculus-based course, use the AP Physics C calculator instead.

Do the four free-response questions count equally?

In this model they do, each carrying the same weight toward the free-response half of your score. On the real exam, point totals can shift slightly by question, so treat the result as an estimate.
