AP 物理
College Board · Advanced Placement
AP 物理含 Physics 1/2/C 四门，1 年制，5 分制评分，4 分以上可换大学学分。
AP Physics, administered by the College Board, comprises four independent exams: Physics 1, Physics 2, Physics C: Mechanics, and Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism. Physics 1 and 2 are algebra-based and cover mechanics through modern physics; the two Physics C courses are calculus-based and approach university-level engineering physics. Scores of 4 or above commonly earn college credit.

AP Physics uses a 1–5 scale; most US colleges grant credit for scores of 4 or 5. Physics 1/2 typically map to algebra-based intro physics, while the two Physics C exams map to calculus-based sequences required by engineering programs. Policies vary by institution; top STEM schools often require a 5 for core credit.
