Constellation Learning Institute does not administer AP exams.

Students enrolled through a CLI Partner School should coordinate with their school's AP coordinator for on-campus testing. Students not affiliated with a CLI Partner School are responsible for arranging their own AP exams. This includes locating a physical testing site that accepts independent students. The AP Course Ledger can help identify nearby schools approved to offer AP exams. For full details, visit the official AP website.

AP Physics C: Mechanics is a calculus-based, college-level physics course — appropriate for students planning to major in physical science or engineering. This course prepares you to take both the AP Physics C: Mechanics exam. Topics include kinematics, Newton’s laws of motion, systems of particles and linear momentum, circular motion and rotation, oscillations, and gravitation. Introductory differential and integral calculus are used thoroughly. This course may be combined with the spring semester AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism to create a full-year course option.

This Student-Paced course is a time-flexible course format that empowers students to complete rigorous and connected learning experiences while accommodating significant outside commitments, including travel, athletics, internships and camp. Students have full access to course materials and activities throughout the term. They work closely with teachers to set individualized weekly benchmarks to create accountability and build consistency. Students interact with teachers and peers via discussion threads, collaborative readings, video posts and other media. Students have the opportunity to meet live for orientation and introduction at start of term, progress check at midterm, and culminating presentations at end of term.
