Bravo to AP Physics 2 teachers and students: this year’s scores are the highest they’ve ever been on this exam, ~69% of students achieving 3 or higher: 
1 student out of ~18,000 worldwide earned a perfect score of every point possible on this year’s AP Physics 2 exam; we’ll notify the student and the school in mid-September once all late exams are scored.
AP Physics 2 students really soared across most topics of the exam, but especially the questions about Unit 6, “Geometric and Physical Optics”; 10% of students answered all of these questions correctly, and an additional 20% only missed a single point.
The only unit where a number of AP Physics 2 students struggled was Unit 7, “Quantum, Atomic, and Nuclear Physics.” About 6% of AP Physics 2 students couldn’t answer any of these questions correctly.
AP Physics 2 free-response questions: Students generally scored best on Q1, in which they explained how an index of refraction affected an interference pattern; 16% of students achieved 9-10 points out of 10 possible. spr.ly/6018zgprC
Perhaps the most advanced question on the AP Physics 2 exam was Q4 on magnetism; it helps identify students who should receive 4s & 5s. Students generally needed to earn 7 out of 10 points to receive a 5, and 5 points to earn a 4, but just 1 of the points to earn a 3.
