Physics B
If you are giving the regularly scheduled exam, say:
It is Monday afternoon, May 12, and you will be taking the AP Physics B Exam.
If you are giving the alternate exam for late testing, say:
It is Friday morning, May 23, and you will be taking the AP Physics B Exam.
In a moment, you will open the packet that contains your exam materials. By opening this packet, you agree to all of the AP Program’s policies and procedures outlined in the 2013-14 Bulletin for AP Students and Parents. You may now remove the shrinkwrap from your exam packet and take out the Section I booklet, but do not open the booklet or the shrinkwrapped Section II materials. Put the white seals aside. . . .
Carefully remove the AP Exam label found near the top left of your exam booklet cover. Now place it on page 1 of your answer sheet on the light blue box near the top right-hand corner that reads “AP Exam Label.”
Read the statements on the front cover of Section I and look up when you have finished. . . .
Sign your name and write today’s date. Look up when you have finished. . . .
Now print your full legal name where indicated. Are there any questions? . . .
Turn to the back cover and read it completely. Look up when you have finished. . . .
Are there any questions? . . .
Section I is the multiple-choice portion of the exam. You may never discuss these specific multiple-choice questions at any time in any form with anyone, including your teacher and other students. If you disclose these questions through any means, your AP Exam score will be canceled. Are there any questions? . . .
You must complete the answer sheet using a No. 2 pencil only. Mark all of your responses beginning on page 2 of your answer sheet, one response per question. Completely fill in the circles. If you need to erase, do so carefully and completely. No credit will be given for anything written in the exam booklet. Scratch paper is not allowed, but you may use the margins or any blank space in the exam booklet for scratch work. Rulers and straightedges may be used for the entire exam, but calculators are not allowed for Section I of the exam. Please put all of your calculators under your chair. Are there any questions? . . .
You have 1 hour and 30 minutes for this section. Open your Section I booklet and begin.
Stop working and turn to the last page of your booklet. . . .
You have 2 minutes to answer Questions 101–106. These are survey questions and will not affect your score. You may not go back to work on any of the exam questions. You may now begin.
Close your booklet and put your answer sheet on your desk, face up. Make sure you have your AP number label and an AP Exam label on page 1 of your answer sheet. I will now collect your answer sheet.
Now you must seal your exam booklet. Remove the white seals from the backing and press one on each area of your exam booklet cover marked “PLACE SEAL HERE.” Fold each seal over the back cover. When you have finished, place the booklet on your desk, face up. I will now collect your Section I booklet. . . .
Please listen carefully to these instructions before we take a 10-minute break. Everything you placed under your chair at the beginning of the exam must stay there. Leave your shrinkwrapped Section II packet on your desk during the break. You are not allowed to consult teachers, other students, or textbooks about the exam during the break. You may not make phone calls, send text messages, check email, use a social networking site, or access any electronic or communication device. Remember, you are not allowed to discuss the multiple-choice section of this exam. If you do not follow these rules, your score could be canceled. Are there any questions? . . .

Read the bulleted statements on the front cover of the exam booklet. Look up when you have finished. . . .
Now place an AP number label on the shaded box. If you don’t have any AP number labels, write your AP number in the box. Look up when you have finished. . . .
Read the last statement. . . .
Using your pen, print the first, middle and last initials of your legal name in the boxes and print today’s date where indicated. This constitutes your signature and your agreement to the statements on the front cover. . . .
Turn to the back cover and complete Item 1 under “Important Identification Information.” Print the first two letters of your last name and the first letterof your first name in the boxes. Look up when you have finished. . . .

Are there any questions? . . .
I need to collect the Student Pack from anyone who will be taking another AP Exam. You may keep it only if you are not taking any other AP Exams this year. If you have no other AP Exams to take, place your Student Pack under your chair now. . . .
While Student Packs are being collected, read the information on the back cover of the exam booklet. Do not open the booklet until you are told to do so. Look up when you have finished. . . .
Collect .the .Student .Packs . .Then .say: .
Are there any questions? . . .
Calculators may be used for Section II. You may get your calculators from under your chair and place them on your desk. . . .
You have 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete Section II. You are responsible for pacing yourself, and you may proceed freely from one question to the next. You must write your answers in the exam booklet using a pen with black or dark blue ink or a No. 2 pencil. If you use a pencil, be sure that your writing is dark enough to be easily read. If you need more paper during the exam, raise your hand. At the top of each extra piece of paper you use, be sure to write only your AP number and the number of the question you are working on. Do not write your name. Are there any questions? . . .
If you are giving the regularly scheduled exam, say:
You may not discuss or share these specific free-response questions with anyone unless they are released on the College Board website in about two days. Your AP score results will be available online in July.
If you are giving the alternate exam for late testing, say:

AP® Physics B Exam SECTION I: Multiple Choice 2014
DO NOT OPEN THIS BOOKLET UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO.
Instructions Section I of this exam contains 70 multiple-choice questions. Fill in only the circles for numbers 1 through 70 on your answer sheet. A table of information that may be helpful isin the booklet. Rulers and straightedges may be used in this section.
Indicate all of your answers to the multiple-choice questions on the answer sheet. No credit will be given for anything written in this exam booklet, but you may use the booklet for notes or scratch work. After you have decided which of the suggested answers is best, completely fill in the corresponding circle on the answer sheet. Give only one answer to each question. If you change an answer, be sure that the previous mark is erased completely. Here is a sample question and answer.
Use your time effectively, working as quickly as you can without losing accuracy. Do not spend too much time on any one question. Go on to other questions and come back to the ones you have not answered if you have time. It is not expected that everyone will know the answers to all of the multiple-choice questions.
Your total score on the multiple-choice section is based only on the number of questions answered correctly. Points are not deducted for incorrect answers or unanswered questions.

The apparatus shown above consists of two identical springs of negligible mass, each with spring constant 20.4 N mk = and each attached at one end to a vertical rotating pole. Identical small spheres of mass m are
attached to the other ends of the springs. The spheres are constrained to horizontal motion by horizontal guides of negligible friction, each of which has a ruler below it for measuring the radial position r of the sphere. The system can be manually rotated about the pole’s axis. In a lab experiment, a student adjusts the rotational speed so that the spheres move to a desired radius r. For each such value of r, the student measures the rotational period T. The student’s partially completed data table is shown below. The length of each unstretched spring is 0.15 mL = .
