In 2020, as a response to the disruption caused by COVID-19, the College Board modified the AP exams so they were shorter, administered online, covered less material, and had a different format than previous tests. But thousands of students faced technical problems and had to retake their exams<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the College Board is providing 3 testing dates starting in early May for each AP exam with options for in-school and at-home, as well as traditional and digital, testing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile this year\u2019s exam options look different from years past, this schedule will maximize opportunities for AP students in a variety of different situations to test and earn college credit and placement,\u201d according to the College Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AP Physics C exam for 2021 — both AP Physics C Mechanics<\/strong> and AP Physics Electricity & Magnetism<\/strong> — will be a full-length exam that students can take in school and\/or at home, either traditionally (i.e., paper and pencil) or digitally, depending on the testing date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the key changes you need to know to do well in the upcoming AP Physics C exam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will I get college credit for the 2021 AP Physics C exam?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Students who take the 2021 AP Physics C exam will be eligible for college credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As in previous years, a student must obtain a score of 3, 4, or 5 to be eligible for college credit. <\/p>\n\n\n
