What is an AP Physics equation sheet?

An AP physics equation sheet is a list of equations addressing the content areas on which the AP test focuses. A new list is produced each year, and there are different equation sheets for AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2 and AP Physics 3.

Many AP teachers provide copies of the physics equations sheets at the beginning of the course and encourage students to make flashcards to memorize the material and equations. Although the equation sheet is included at the front of the actual exam, students are more likely to pass if they learn and memorize the formulas, which allows them to avoid taking the time to refer to them during the examination.
