(S): Advanced I Physics Placement Exam

If you are comfortable with your mechanics experience before coming to Rose, you can take the optional Physics I Placement Exam. If you receive a passing score on the exam, you will receive credit-by-exam for Physics I and be enrolled in Physics II for the fall term. If you do not receive a passing score on the exam, there are no negative consequences, and you will be enrolled in Physics I.

This exam will cover translational mechanics; vectors, 2-and-3-D kinematics, Newton's Laws, work and energy, linear momentum and collisions, Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, Coulomb's Law, and the Lorentz Force Law. If you would like to take the exam, please bring a calculator (graphing is fine) and pens or pencils.

You can pre-register for the exam or register the day of the exam in Olin. To pre-register, please visit your JUMPSTART! checklist.
