Upload the first examHow AI scoring works
When you upload an AP Physics 2: Algebra-Based PDF without an answer key, our system uses Google Gemini to read the document, extract every multiple-choice question, and generate the correct answers. The first attempt seeds the answer key; later attempts use the saved key, so AI runs only once per exam.
Each question is scored against the stored key in real time. After you submit, you can review every wrong answer with an AI-written explanation that grounds the reasoning in the original PDF page.
AI-generated keys may have errors. Always cross-check answers against an official source for high-stakes review.
Physics 2 FAQ
- Should I take Physics 1 before Physics 2?
- Yes. Physics 2 assumes you know Newtonian mechanics, energy, and momentum from Physics 1.
- Which units are most heavily tested?
- Electric circuits and electromagnetism dominate the exam. Optics and modern physics typically appear with one or two FRQs combined.
- Is Physics 2 easier than Physics 1?
- Many students report a higher pass rate for Physics 2 because the cohort is more self-selected, but the topics are conceptually broader.
- Are calculators and an equations sheet provided?
- Yes. Approved scientific or graphing calculators are permitted on both sections, and an equations sheet plus reference tables are available throughout the exam.
