AP Testing Weeks

It has been suggested to me that all students that are participating in the AP program participate in the the accompanying AP Exam for the course. I am also encouraging you to participate in the AP Physics 2 Exam.

As an incentive, when everyone participates in the AP Exam, we will work on a large project afterward and our last test given the week before AP Testing Weeks will be the Final Test for the class.

If there are participants in our class that do not participate in the AP Physics Exam as expected by our school, our class will continue through topics and testing on the topics presented with the expected Comprehensive Final Exam during the scheduled Finals Week.

Please make your best choice for the class and seek Dr. Osterman for guidance in your participation.

Your Exam Registration Form is due by next Wednesday, 07Feb2018.

Tuesday, 08May2018, 12PM: AP Physics 1
Wednesday, 09May2018, 12PM: AP Physics 2

A bonus point will be offered for submitting your payment to me or showing me your receipt when you receive one.
