Students often underestimate Kinematics because it appears early in the syllabus, but AP questions here test application, not memorized definitions alone.

Describing motion in one and two dimensions: displacement, velocity, acceleration, and representations. Use 10 for gravity. Expect questions involving Scalars and vectors, displacement vs distance; Constant and variable acceleration motion equations; Projectile motion and relative motion.

Mix MCQ practice with sketching diagrams or timelines from memory. AP Physics 1 rewards recall under time pressure, not just recognition.
