Physics 1 & Physics 2
Algebra-based, and broader: Physics 1 now carries fluids, and Physics 2 goes deeper into thermodynamics, optics and modern physics.

On the exam
- The four free-response types are fixed: mathematical routines, translation between representations, experimental design and analysis, and qualitative or quantitative translation.
- Several of those reward written reasoning and experiment critique rather than plug-and-chug, so the marks sit in the explanation.
- Fluids is Unit 8 of Physics 1 since the redesign, and students coming from older material often miss it entirely.
With us: We match practice to the exact course you sit, and drill the four free-response types by name so no stem is a surprise.
