Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Getting Started with AP Physics 1

AP Physics 1 is an algebra-based introductory physics course that covers mechanics, waves, and circuits. It’s ideal for students interested in STEM fields, pre-med, or those wanting to challenge themselves with college-level coursework. Students should have completed or be concurrently taking Algebra II.

Most students take AP Physics 1 in 11th or 12th grade after completing necessary math prerequisites. Some advanced 10th graders may be ready if they’ve mastered Algebra II concepts and have strong problem-solving skills.

Students should have completed Geometry and Algebra II (or be taking it concurrently). No prior physics experience is required, but strong math skills and comfort with abstract thinking are essential. 

AP Physics 1 Course Overview and Content

The course covers eight main units: kinematics (10-15%), force and translational dynamics (18-23%), work, energy, and power (18-23%), linear momentum (10-15%), torque and rotational dynamics (10-15%), energy and momentum of rotating systems (5-8%), oscillations (5-8%), and fluids (10-15%). You’ll learn to analyze physical situations using mathematical models.

Kinematics is foundational to all other physics concepts. Watch and read more about motion equations, graphs, and problem-solving strategies in Unit 1 to set yourself up for success throughout the entire course.

Rotational motion extends linear concepts to spinning objects, requiring students to understand angular quantities and their relationships. Many students struggle with the conceptual leap from linear to rotational thinking.

AP Physics 1 Online Course Options

Online courses offer flexibility and self-paced learning, making them great supplements to traditional classes or alternatives when in-person options aren’t available. They’re particularly helpful for focused exam review.

Yes, several platforms offer basic free resources, including Khan Academy and College Board’s AP Classroom. However, comprehensive prep courses with detailed explanations and analytics typically require payment.

Use online courses year-round as companions to regular classes for in-class unit test prep, or start focused AP exam review over winter break. Many students also use our prep as an AP Physics 1 summer course to get ahead before the school year starts.

AP Physics 1 Exam Preparation and Review

Start comprehensive review 6-8 weeks before the AP exam around late February or early March. Keep in mind that regular review throughout the year using practice questions and concept reinforcement is most effective for making good grades and retaining the material long-term which is essential for STEM and pre-med majors.

Unit reviews (like AP Physics 1 Unit 1 review or Unit 2 review) focus on specific topics and are great for test preparation throughout the year. Full course review integrates all concepts and prepares students for the cumulative AP exam. With our review course, you can tailor your review to cover either.

Semester reviews should focus on connecting concepts across units. Students should practice questions that combine multiple topics and identify areas needing additional study.

A good review guide should include concept summaries, formula sheets, worked examples, and practice problems. Our AP Physics 1 videos and review guides emphasize problem-solving strategies rather than just memorization.

AP Physics 1 Review Strategies and Timeline

Focus on high-yield topics, practice MCQ and free-response question formats, and review common mistakes. Use quick review sessions to reinforce formulas and problem-solving approaches rather than learning new concepts.

Final exams often cover semester material, while the AP exam is cumulative. Help your teen balance school final prep with comprehensive AP review, and consider whether additional support is needed.

Using online prep as summer courses can be beneficial for getting ahead or reinforcing concepts, but shouldn’t overwhelm students. Set a custom 3-month schedule using the study planner that balances watching and reading content with practice using the question bank. Aim for about an hour per week total.

AP Physics 1 Online Course Resources and Support

Quality materials should include up-to-date content aligned with current College Board standards, practice questions similar to actual exam format, detailed video explanations, and progress tracking capabilities.

Digital platforms offer interactive simulations, step-by-step problem solutions, and immediate feedback. They’re particularly helpful for visualizing abstract concepts and providing personalized practice.

For students aiming for college credit (score of 3+) or admission to competitive programs (score of 4-5), prep courses can be valuable investments. They may save thousands in college tuition and help students graduate early.

Performance and Progress Tracking

Use practice tests, unit assessments, and analytics dashboards to identify strengths and weaknesses. Regular self-assessment helps students focus study time on areas needing improvement.

Consistent practice and review typically lead to gradual improvement. Parents should expect initial struggles with complex concepts, but scores should improve with dedicated effort and proper support.

Students should consistently score well on practice tests, demonstrate understanding across all units, and feel confident with both multiple-choice and free-response question formats. Mock exams provide the best assessment of readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

New Purchase: All new subscriptions go into effect from the time they are activated and not at the time of setup/purchase. A subscription can be activated immediately or any time thereafter. If your initial purchase consists of multiple courses (Qbank, Self-Assessment exam, CCS, etc.), each can be activated individually and independently via your account on our website. This process of activating a subscription after purchase allows you the flexibility to start a subscription when you are truly ready to use it.

We recommend that all subscriptions be activated within 180 days of setup/purchase. Once a subscription is activated, it cannot be paused or suspended for any reason and will run continuously for the duration of the course material.

Renewal: A renewal is an extension of time to continue access to a current activated subscription. Because a renewal is an extension to an already active subscription, it is effective from the existing expiration date, not from the day of purchase and cannot be deferred to start at a later date/time.

Note: All of our subscriptions are based on the Eastern Time Zone (GMT/UTC -5 hours or New York Time), which may be different than your local time zone.

Any of our product offerings can be purchased from our website with payment due in full at time of purchase via a credit or debit card with American Express/Discover/MasterCard or Visa logo.

Individuals purchasing our CPA Review product may finance their purchase using Affirm during checkout process. Your eligibility depends on your credit score and other criteria, as per Affirm’s policies (outlined here). A soft credit check, a credit check that does not affect your credit score, will be performed by Affirm to determine your loan eligibility. You will need a US based bank account to qualify.

All refunds are evaluated on a case-by-case basis for products purchased directly from UWorld. One case has no bearing on another. Refund amounts determined by UWorld are final.

In-App Purchases: We are unable to process any refunds for purchases made via mobile application (in-app). Please contact Apple for all refund/credit requests for Apple in-app purchases.

USMLE Step 2 CS, Step 3 CCS, Subject Reviews & Self-Assessment Exams: These subscriptions are non-refundable, non-transferable, and cannot be converted into another subscription.

CPA Review: Students may request to cancel their CPA review product only within 10-days of activation of any of the materials. To qualify for a refund, no more than 10% of the course (lectures, Qbank, or a combination there-of) may have been used per exam section. All CPA Review refunds are subject to a cancellation fee of $75 (for single section purchases) or $250 (for package
purchases), plus any applicable shipping charges. No return of merchandise is necessary.

All other Qbanks: Refunds are considered for subscriptions of more than 30 days. Refund amounts are based on the number of days elapsed since the subscription start date or the number of questions used, whichever amounts to a higher deductible.

Example scenarion: An individual purchases a 180-day Qbank subscription and generates a few test blocks equal to 20% of the questions in the Qbank. After 45 days, he/she requests a refund. Because the elapsed duration is greater than the percentage of questions used, the refund amount will be based on a subscription converted to the closest duration (60 days) by deducting the applicable 60-day subscription fee from the refund. In the same scenario, if the individual had used 85% of the questions, the refund would be 15% of the subscription fee paid.

Note 1: A processing fee of 10% (minimum of $10 and maximum of $25) will be applied to all refund amounts.

Note 2: All refunds, pro-rated or otherwise, must be requested within 360 days of original purchase. Refunds for purchases made more than 360 days ago will be issued as non-refundable, non-transferable store credit.

Note 3: Subscribers must notify UWorld of their intent to obtain a refund before activating their subscription (or) during the active duration. If the reset option is used or all of the questions are used, no refund will be allowed (see “I want to reset/delete my Qbank test history (or) start all over again, is this possible?” below for further details). No refunds will be offered for expired subscriptions.

Note 4: For combination package purchases, individual subscription fees will be applied when calculating the refund. If any self-assessment Exam(s) is utilized from a package, the entire purchase is rendered non-refundable.

Note 5: Although access to Qbanks via certain mobile devices is provided as an additional feature, it is not intended to be a replacement for computer access, and no refunds or cancellations will be honored due to user inability to install and/or use the provided software on any mobile device (regardless of whether the device meets the minimum system requirements).

Please use the following steps to purchase a renewal for your subscription:

  • Log in to your account on our website
  • Click on the User Icon in the top right corner of the screen
  • Click on the Renew button corresponding to your subscription
  • Select the Renewal duration you wish to purchase
  • Verify your profile information, address, and educational status, then click the Update button
  • Enter your Billing address and credit/debit card information, then click Review Order

Upon a successful transaction, you will be sent a confirmation email receipt.

A renewal is an extension of time to continue accessing an active subscription, and it will not start the subscription over, provide a reset, or grant access to additional questions that were not previously accessible. Because a renewal is an extension to an already active subscription, it is effective from the existing expiration date, not from the date of purchase, and cannot be deferred in any way to start at a later date/time.

Please note that to qualify for renewal pricing, you will need to renew the course before it expires. Renewals are not offered to expired subscriptions. If you fail to secure a renewal before the expiration date, you will need to purchase a new subscription at the regular price directly from our website to regain access to the material.

Note: All times and dates displayed for subscription expiration correspond with the Eastern Time Zone (GMT/UTC -5 hours or New York Time), which may be different than your local time zone.

Note: If your initial purchase was a combination package, you will need to renew each active subscription individually. You do not need to renew a course that has not been activated.

You may request to upgrade or downgrade your subscription purchase as long as it has not been activated. If you purchase a combination package, all included subscriptions must be unused. Please be advised that current subscription pricing will apply.

If your subscription has been activated, unfortunately, we cannot upgrade it retroactively. If seeking to downgrade, please refer to our refund policy for available options.

We do not offer custom duration(s) or combination packages other than those outlined on the website. Please refer to our purchase page for currently available subscriptions (including discounted combination packages for some products).

Self-Assessment exam subscriptions are for 14 days each. Subscribers whose active subscription(s) have not expired can purchase renewals from 7 days or more at any time before their active subscription expires. Please refer to the respective course description page for renewal options.

We offer a demo on each of our product pages that contains a sample of the product interface and a few sample questions. We do not offer guest/trial accounts to test our software and view materials.

It is possible to purchase a subscription as a gift for someone else. However, the intended recipient will need to register an account on our website (or have an account registered for them, with their profile information entered accurately). If the user is present at the time of purchase, the purchase can be made from their account on our website using any credit or debit card with a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover logo.

If the user is not present, or you wish for the gift to be a surprise, please contact Support directly using the contact form to arrange payment for the gift subscription. You will need to provide the user’s registered email address so the account can be located.
