Khan Academy Physics is the most popular free resource for students.
The Reality: If you want a top-tier grade, it falls short.
This is why Nerd Notes spent the last 10 years crafting the perfect resources to learn AND ace Physics. One of our tools minimizes study time by months, while still maximizing test scores. Here’s how:
Where Khan Academy Physics Hits a Wall
Concepts are fine, but problem solving is king.
If you are using Khan Academy physics as your only study tool, you’re missing out on critical problem-solving depth. And this depth is not option if you want an A or 5 on the AP Physics exam.
How we fix this:
- Harder Questions: Practice problems that actually mimic (or exceed) exam difficulty.
- Logic Over Memorization: Master the process, don’t just memorize formulas.
Bottom line: we show you how, we walk the walk (with you). Our Physics From Scratch Guide, for example, has over 10 hours of pure problem solving. Simply watching us, will help you understand more in less time.
Modern Learning > 2020 Interface
Stop using clunky, outdated platforms. You need elite questions and instant feedback.
The Upgrade:
- Nerd Notes Physics Question Bank: Every question sorted by Unit, topic, difficulty. With explanations, and AI grading for written work.
- FRQ Atlas: Every AP FRQ for your to work on, graded instantly by AI according to the official scoring guidelines.
- Built for 2026: beautifully designed and thoroughly crafted interfaces, designed for high-intensity study and rapid feedback.
Passive Learning \(\neq\) Learning
It’s time to bite the bullet. Watching 100 hours of Khan Academy won’t make you an elite-level problem solver.
The Solution:
- Active Problem Solving: Move past 10-minute videos and start solving multi-step “trick” questions.
- Real-Time Correction: Weather its our built in Phy AI, or chatGPT, use AI to explain where you went wrong, and make corrections immediately.
