The AP Physics 1 class visited Mrs. Tucker Wednesday to research the AP requirements of their top three colleges. During the process students determined whether or not their colleges accept AP Physics 1 credit and what minimum score they need to make on the AP Physics 1 exam to get credit. For some students, this enabled […]
