# Nerd Notes Courses — Self-Paced Physics Course Platform

This is the Nerd Notes course platform: the learning app where enrolled
students take self-paced physics courses — video lessons, written lessons,
auto-graded practice, and unit exams, with progress tracked across sessions.
Its flagship course is **Learn Physics From Scratch**, a complete AP Physics 1
/ honors / first-year college physics curriculum built to be finished in under
100 hours.

**Start here:** https://nerd-notes.com/courses/

## What's inside

- **Video lessons** — the flagship course includes 75+ hours of 4K video across all 8 AP Physics 1 units.
- **Written lessons** — 30+ written lessons alongside the videos.
- **Practice problem sets** — 50+ targeted problem sets with detailed explanations and automatic grading, plus Phy AI feedback on graded work.
- **Full-length unit exams** — 15+ unit tests with a practice-based Test Readiness meter that estimates whether a student is ready before they sit the exam.
