Hi, I’m TestprepKart.
Your Partner In Exam Preparation
AP Physics 1 is often a student’s first exposure to college-level physics. It’s a mix of conceptual understanding, mathematical application, and real-world problem-solving. The course covers everything from motion and energy to electric circuits and waves.
While interesting, AP Physics 1 is also known to be one of the harder AP exams to score a 4 or 5 in. The questions are more about applying what you know than memorizing formulas. That’s why a structured, well-paced coaching program can make a big difference.
At TestprepKart, we focus on building strong concepts, developing problem-solving skills, and preparing you to tackle the kind of questions that show up on the actual AP exam.
There are 10 units in the course, and not all carry the same weight in the exam. Some chapters like Energy and Dynamics are much more important than others. Here’s how we break it down and plan our classes:
| Unit No. | Unit Title | Estimated Hours | Exam Weighting | Key Topics Covered |
| 1 | Kinematics | 12 hours | 10–16% | Motion in 1D and 2D, velocity, acceleration, motion graphs, relative motion |
| 2 | Dynamics | 14 hours | 16–20% | Newton’s laws, free-body diagrams, friction, tension, inclined planes |
| 3 | Circular Motion and Gravitation | 10 hours | 6–8% | Uniform circular motion, centripetal force, Newton’s law of gravitation, satellites |
| 4 | Energy | 12 hours | 20–28% | Work, kinetic and potential energy, conservation laws, power, mechanical advantage |
| 5 | Momentum | 10 hours | 12–18% | Momentum conservation, impulse, collisions (elastic/inelastic) |
| 6 | Simple Harmonic Motion | 8 hours | 4–6% | Springs, pendulums, SHM concepts, period, and frequency |
| 7 | Torque and Rotational Motion | 12 hours | 12–18% | Rotational kinematics, torque, angular momentum, moment of inertia |
| 8 | Electric Charge and Electric Force | 6 hours | 4–6% | Coulomb’s law, electric force, charge interaction |
| 9 | DC Circuits | 6 hours | 4–6% | Current, voltage, resistance, Ohm’s law, series/parallel circuits |
| 10 | Mechanical Waves and Sound | 6 hours | 4–6% | Wave motion, sound waves, frequency, interference, standing waves |
Free eBook by TestprepKart – A Helpful AP Guide
Along with the syllabus, we are also giving you a bonus TestprepKart eBook. This is not an academic textbook. It’s more of a helpful guide that answers many common questions students have about AP exams.
If you’re an NRI student, or if you’re not sure how AP scores work, or you’re confused between AP, IB, and A-Levels, this eBook will really help you.
What’s inside this guide:
Physics isn’t just about plugging numbers into formulas. Students often struggle to understand what the equations mean and how to apply them to real-world problems.
A lot of questions involve interpreting motion or energy graphs. If you’re not used to thinking visually, these questions can be tricky.
Some students spend equal time on every topic, even though units like Energy and Dynamics are far more important. That’s not the best use of study time.
The AP Physics 1 exam emphasizes lab skills, data analysis, and designing experiments. Many students find this unfamiliar and challenging to prepare for.
Solving textbook problems isn’t the same as tackling AP-style multiple-choice and free-response questions. Without guided practice, it’s hard to know how well you’re doing.
We spend more time on important chapters like Energy, Dynamics, and Momentum. This helps students get comfortable with the parts of the syllabus that appear most in the exam.
We start from the basics and slowly build up to more complex ideas. Whether it’s Newton’s Laws or torque, we make sure the foundations are strong.
Our program includes short quizzes, mock tests, and topic-wise assignments. You get regular feedback so you know exactly where to improve.
We train students using actual AP questions and teach them how to answer multiple-choice and free-response questions correctly and clearly.
We break down difficult topics like rotational motion or standing waves using real-life examples and easy-to-follow explanations.
With our guidance, students don’t waste time on less relevant topics and get more focused practice on the important ones.
Instead of guessing or memorizing, students learn how to approach problems logically and calmly.
Our AP-certified tutors is always available to answer doubts and provide personalized guidance.
With mock tests and time-bound problem-solving sessions, students get used to working under real exam conditions.
When your study is structured and guided, it reduces exam anxiety and builds real confidence.
