AP Physics C: E&M Full Practice Exam
Full-length practice exam modeled on the official College Board AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism exam (2025+ CED). 40 calculus-based multiple-choice questions across all units, plus 4 free-response questions covering mathematical routines, translation between representations, experimental design, and qualitative/quantitative translation. Calculator allowed throughout.
Exam Structure
Section I — Multiple Choice
40 questions · 80 minutes
40 calculus-based MCQs covering electrostatics (Coulomb, Gauss's law), conductors and capacitors, electric circuits (RC, Kirchhoff), magnetic fields and forces (Biot-Savart, Ampère's law), and electromagnetic induction (Faraday, inductors). Calculator allowed.
Section II — Free Response
4 items · 100 minutes
4 calculus-based FRQs: Q1 Mathematical Routines, Q2 Translation Between Representations, Q3 Experimental Design, Q4 Qualitative/Quantitative Translation. Self-graded rubric checklist.
Total time: 3h 0m. Each section has its own timer; sections are completed back-to-back. Free-response sections use a self-grading rubric checklist after you write your response.
