These course objectives are intended to elaborate on the content outline for Physics B and Physics C found in the AP Physics Course Description. In addition to the five major content areas of physics, objectives are included now for laboratory skills, which have become an important part of the AP Physics Exams. The objectives listed are generally representative of the cumulative content of recently administered exams, although no single exam can cover them all. The checkmarks indicate the objectives that may be covered in either the Physics B or Physics C Exams. It is reasonable to expect that future exams will continue to sample primarily from among these objectives. However, there may be an occasional question that is within the scope of the included topics but is not specifically covered by one of the listed objectives. Questions may also be based on variations or combinations of these objectives, rephrasing them but still assessing the essential concepts. The objectives listed are continually revised to keep them as current as possible with the content outline in the AP Physics Course Description and the coverage of the exams.
