AP POLYCET sample questions
A few real AP POLYCET questions with answers and step-by-step solutions, in the exact style of the full mock tests.
MathematicsSample 1
What are the roots of x² − 15x + 54 = 0?
- A.-9 and -6
- B.-6 and 9
- C.-9 and 6
- D.6 and 9
Solution: x² − 15x + 54 = 0 factorises as (x − 9)(x − 6) = 0, so x = 9 or x = 6.
PhysicsSample 2
A body starts with velocity 9 m/s and accelerates uniformly at 6 m/s² for 12 s. What is its final velocity?
- A.81 m/s
- B.72 m/s
- C.27 m/s
- D.114 m/s
Solution: v = u + at = 9 + 6 × 12 = 81 m/s.
ChemistrySample 3
What is the molecular (formula unit) mass of ethanol (C₂H₅OH)? (C = 12, H = 1, O = 16 u)
- A.46 u
- B.29 u
- C.45 u
- D.48 u
Solution: C₂H₅OH: 2 × 12 + 6 × 1 + 1 × 16 = 46 u.
