AP Physics includes three separate examinations that are offered as part of the College Board's Advanced Placement Program.

AP Physics B is a science course that is separated into five different sections of study: Newtonian Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Physics, Waves and Optics, and Atomic and Nuclear Physics.

AP Physics C is comprised of two exams, the first being on Newtonian Mechanics and the second focusing on Electricity and Magnetism. Use of calculus in problem solving and in derivations is expected in both exams.
