How to use this library. Pick your exact course below. Each course page shows the official unit roadmap with exam weightings, the May 2027 exam format, and every Marlbridge resource available for each topic. Start a topic with the study guide, check yourself with the practice questions, then use the revision notes and “I can…” checklist before tests.
Physics 1 and Physics 2 are algebra-based; Physics C: Mechanics and Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism use calculus. They are separate courses and exams, so pick the one you are entered for. Calculus BC includes all of Calculus AB plus extra topics, which are labelled “BC only”.

Questions
Which school year and exam do these resources follow?
Every course page is mapped to the College Board course frameworks for the 2026–27 school year and the May 2027 exams. Unit numbers and titles were checked against each official Course and Exam Description on 5 October 2026.
Are these official past papers or College Board questions?
No. Every explanation and question is written by Marlbridge and labelled as Marlbridge practice. Official past free-response questions are free on College Board’s own website; Marlbridge does not copy or rehost them.
Can these resources predict my exam score?
No. The diagnostics and practice sets show which topics need more work. They are not calibrated against real exam results, so Marlbridge does not convert them into predicted scores.
Who checks this material?
Every page is written and checked by the Marlbridge Academic Team against the 2026–27 Course and Exam Description: content and terminology are compared with the framework, and every calculation and worked answer is re-worked. Each page shows the date of its check. A page shows a named teacher only when that teacher has reviewed it.
Do these pages meet the lab requirement of an AP science course?
No. The AP science courses require hands-on laboratory work in school. Reading these pages, or doing simulations, does not replace it.
