40 questions · 80 minutes · ~120 sec/question
-
Section II — Free Response (4 Q)
4 questions · 100 minutes · ~1500 sec/question
AP Physics 2 scoring & marking scheme
Strategy: AP Physics 2 has no negative marking. Attempt every question — blank answers cost you potential marks but cannot pull your score down.
Scale: AP Physics 2 (1-5 scaled).
How AP Physics 2 is conducted
Mode
Standard — practice without proctoring on Wrexa Edge, or enable optional webcam proctoring to simulate test-day conditions.
Test format
Linear / fixed-form — every candidate sees the same number of questions per section.
Backtracking
Allowed — you can revisit and change answers within a section.
Mark for review
Available — flag tough questions and return to them before submitting the section.
AP Physics 2 time strategy
With 44 questions in 180 minutes, you have about 245 seconds per question on average. Successful candidates aim for the following pacing on each section:
Section I — MCQ (40 Q)
Target ~120 sec/question. If a question takes more than 180 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Section II — Free Response (4 Q)
Target ~1500 sec/question. If a question takes more than 2250 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Wrexa Edge's analytics show your actual time-per-question after every mock so you can spot which sections you're losing time on.

Sample AP Physics 2 questions
A preview of real practice questions from the Wrexa Edge AP Physics 2 bank — the same style, phrasing and difficulty you'll face on test day. Full solutions unlock free inside the mock.
Section I — MCQ (40 Q) · Physics — Energy
Q1. A ball is dropped from height 12 m. Speed on impact (g = 10 m/s²):
Why: v = √(2gh).
Section II — Free Response (4 Q) · Probability
Q2. Two fair dice are rolled. Find the probability that the sum is 7. Justify by listing outcomes.
Why: 6 favourable outcomes out of 36 = 1/6.
Section I — MCQ (40 Q) · Physics — Circular Motion
Q3. Object moves in a circle of radius 3 m at speed 12 m/s. Centripetal acceleration is:
Why: a = v²/r.
Section II — Free Response (4 Q) · Calculus — Chain Rule
Q4. Differentiate f(x) = (3x² + 1)⁵ using the chain rule. Show each step.
Why: f'(x) = 5(3x²+1)⁴ · 6x = 30x(3x²+1)⁴.
Section I — MCQ (40 Q) · Physics — Electricity
Q5. Current 9 A through 10 Ω resistor. Voltage drop:
Why: V = IR.
Section II — Free Response (4 Q) · Calculus — Product Rule
Q6. Differentiate f(x) = x²·eˣ using the product rule. Justify your method.
Why: f'(x) = 2x·eˣ + x²·eˣ = x·eˣ(2 + x).
