The College Board
The College Board is a mission-driven not-for-profit organization that connects students to college success and opportunity. Founded in 1900, the College Board was created to expand access to higher education. Today, the membership association is made up of over 6,000 of the world's leading educational institutions and is dedicated to promoting excellence and equity in education. Each year, the College Board helps more than seven million students prepare for a successful transition to college through programs and services in college readiness and college success -- including the SAT? and the Advanced Placement Program?. The organization also serves the education community through research and advocacy on behalf of students, educators, and schools. For further information, visit .
AP Equity and Access Policy
The College Board strongly encourages educators to make equitable access a guiding principle for their AP programs by giving all willing and academically prepared students the opportunity to participate in AP. We encourage the elimination of barriers that restrict access to AP for students from ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underserved. Schools should make every effort to ensure their AP classes reflect the diversity of their student population. The College Board also believes that all students should have access to academically challenging course work before they enroll in AP classes, which can prepare them for AP success. It is only through a commitment to equitable preparation and access that true equity and excellence can be achieved.

AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2 Exams
Introduction
These sample exam questions were originally included in the AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based and AP Physics 2: Algebra-Based Curriculum Framework, published in fall 2012. The AP Physics 1 and 2 Course and Exam Description, which is out now, includes that curriculum framework, along with a new, unique set of exam questions. Because we want teachers to have access to all available questions that support the new exam, we are making those from the fall 2012 curriculum framework available in this supplementary document.
The sample exam questions illustrate the relationship between the curriculum framework and the redesigned AP Physics 1 and 2 Exam, and they serve as examples of the types of questions that appear on the exam.
Each question is followed by the targeted learning objective(s) from the curriculum framework. These sample questions help illustrate how the learning objectives for both courses are assessed. For multiple-choice questions, the correct answer is provided.
