Course Concept

AP Physics C is an advanced placement course that covers both Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism. It is designed to provide students with a deeper understanding of classical mechanics and electromagnetism, as well as develop their skills in solving complex physics problems using calculus-based methods. It is divided in:

  • Calculus-Based Problem-Solving: The course emphasizes the use of calculus techniques to solve physics problems. Students apply differentiation and integration to analyze motion, forces, and electric and magnetic fields. This calculus-based approach provides a more precise and detailed understanding of physics concepts.
  • Advanced Mechanics: AP Physics C Mechanics delves deeper into the principles of motion and forces compared to other physics courses. Students learn advanced topics such as rotational motion, angular momentum, and gravitational interactions. They develop a strong foundation in classical mechanics and gain a deeper understanding of the physical laws that govern the behavior of objects.
  • Electromagnetism: AP Physics C Electricity & Magnetism focuses on the principles of electricity and magnetism. Students learn about electric fields, magnetic fields, and their interactions. They study topics such as electric circuits, capacitance, inductance, electromagnetic waves, and electromagnetic radiation. The course covers both DC and AC circuits, preparing students for more advanced studies in electromagnetism.
  • Laboratory Investigations: AP Physics C includes laboratory activities to reinforce theoretical concepts and develop experimental skills. Students design and conduct experiments to explore fundamental principles and verify theoretical predictions. They learn to analyze data, draw conclusions, and communicate their findings effectively.
  • Mathematical Rigor: The course requires a strong foundation in mathematics, including calculus. Students use mathematical models, equations, and principles to analyze and solve physics problems. They learn to express physical phenomena using mathematical notation and apply mathematical reasoning to derive and interpret equations.
  • AP Exam Format: The AP Physics C exam includes both multiple-choice and free-response questions. The multiple-choice section tests conceptual understanding, while the free-response section assesses problem-solving abilities. The exam allows students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in both Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism.

    We conduct our programs online.

    Is this a live class? Will it be a group or private class?
    All our classes are live instructor lead classes. All our academic tutoring are only one-on-one.

  • Is this a live class? Will it be a group or private class?
    expand_more

    All our classes are live instructor lead classes. All our academic tutoring are only one-on-one.

  • When is the best time to get started?
    expand_more

    The earlier the better! When students come to us right before it is time to apply to college, there is only so much we can do. We can certainly help these students with score improvements and craft as compelling an application as possible, but we are given experiences and data points that cannot be altered.

    When students come to us early in their educational careers, we pair them with a counselor to help them develop as applicants, students, and people early on. We help students strategize early, build their profiles, and stand out from their peers. We help students explore and develop their academic interests, engage in unique and meaningful extracurricular activities, strengthen their personal qualities and leadership skills, and ultimately, position them to get into the best schools possible. We start building on your academic foundations so you have enough time to ace your SAT test.

    It takes A LOT of hard work, strategy, determination, and self-reflection to get into the school of your dreams. At AP Guru, we are here, every step of the way, to help you get there.

  • Do test prep courses work?
    expand_more

    Yes! Standardized tests focus on a small, unique set of skills and topics. By knowing exactly what types of questions are on the test, a student gains a distinct advantage. Furthermore, a great tutoring company can build on this advantage by providing a highly individualized learning experience and a wealth of fantastic strategies for all types of students.  We have the evidence from thousands of students across 10+ years that great improvement is possible for nearly everyone.

  • Do you only help students who want to go to top schools?
    expand_more

    No. We know that each student is different and has unique goals and aspirations. Our focus is to help each student excel in the tests and exams they are preparing towards.

  • What kind of results should I expect?
    expand_more

    In terms of academic scores, for students not already at the top of the range, we typically want to see at least a 20 percentile rank improvement (the actual raw score this translates to varies across the scale). Going from the 50th to 70th percentile or from the 70th to 90th typically opens up a whole new range of schools for students.
