Wondering whether AP Physics is right for you?

What is AP Physics?

Advanced Programme Physics (AP Physics) is offered by the IEB as a certified exam and is quality assured by Umalusi. The exam is written by learners during their Grade 12 final exams, however, learners wanting to write this exam in Grade 12 begin preparing for it from Grade 11. Over the course of this two-year programme, learners cover advanced analytical skills, thermal physics, modern physics, mechanics, charged particles in electric and magnetic fields and oscillations.
