AEPA Physics (NT308)

The AEPA Physics (NT308) is a subject-knowledge test in the AEPA program's multiple-choice format. The program's test table lists it alongside the other Knowledge Tests and directs candidates to the individual test page for specifics on when and where testing is available and for preparation materials.

The AEPA program pages do not publish a question count or time limit for NT308. Rather than rely on secondhand figures, check the Physics test page on the AEPA site, which carries the current test-specific details, including scheduling information and the preparation materials the program provides.

The program's public pages do not state a passing score for Physics. Passing standards and how scores are reported are covered under the AEPA testing and score reporting policies, so review those policy pages and your official score report rather than assuming a target percentage.

Retake rules are governed by AEPA testing and registration policies, which the program publishes on its Policies page. Read that policy text before scheduling a second attempt, since it sets the conditions and any waiting period that apply to re-registration.

Fees are not listed on the pages reviewed here. Registration is handled through the AEPA online registration system, which displays the current fee for the test you select before you pay, so confirm the amount there at the time you register.

It is a single-subject content test, so expect breadth across mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, and thermodynamics and modern physics, plus inquiry and reasoning. Candidates who have not taken physics coursework recently typically need several weeks of systematic review rather than a quick refresher.

Start with mechanics and properties of matter, since energy, momentum, and force reasoning recur in the other domains. Then move to electricity and magnetism, followed by waves, sound, light, and optics, and finish with thermodynamics, modern physics, and scientific inquiry. End with a timed full-length practice test and targeted review of your weakest areas.

The AEPA program publishes preparation materials for its tests, including study guides, a full-length practice test, and a test preparation video. The program has also stated that, for National Evaluation Series tests with practice tests available at registration, the practice test is provided automatically at no additional cost.

Yes. The program announced that online proctoring is available, allowing candidates to test remotely, including from home, and registration has been opened in phases for online-proctored assessments. Availability of specific appointments is first-come, first-served, so book early.

The usual causes are uneven coverage, memorizing formulas without applying them to unfamiliar setups, and skipping timed practice under realistic conditions. Weakness in mathematics, especially algebra and proportional reasoning, also costs points. Diagnose with a practice test first, then drill the specific topics and problem types you miss.
