Hi all,

I’m planning on taking the F=ma exam (the open exam for USAPHO) next year in 2019 , and my goal is to make semis for now. What is the level of physics understanding that one would need to know to qualify to semifinals? How much practice and depth of knowledge does a semis qualifier need?

I am currently self-studying AP Phys 1 this school year and will take the AP Test in may. Beyond AP Phys 1, what studying should I be doing to prepare myself?

Thanks!
