In this video, Mr. P, an actual AP® Physics Reader, shows you exactly how to draw free-body diagrams the way exam graders want to see them. Learn where to start your force vectors, how to label each force correctly, and how to use the provided grid to show relative magnitudes. Avoid the most common mistakes that cost students valuable points and learn how to make your diagrams clear, accurate, and legible. Whether you’re studying for the AP® Physics 1, 2, C Mechanics, or C E&M exam, this tutorial will help you earn every possible point on your free-response questions.\n
