John Pinizzotto, one of the two Directors of AP Physics at the College Board, sponsored a reception at the AP Reading in June. He did a Q and A session during the reception. He said that he and Amy Johnson, the other AP Physics Director, have asked that the revision/realignment of the AP Physics courses (1/2, CM/CE) be pushed back a year, from 2023-2024 (first exam in 2024) to the 2024-2025 (first exam in 2025) school year. This change, he said, is to be sure that all of the materials that they can make available (AP Classroom, etc.) are completed and edited in time. This will be officially announced in the fall, assuming the higher-ups at College Board approve the change. John seemed very certain that the date will be pushed back, and offered no hedge words.

If I hear more from CB I will revise this.

Update!! On 3 May 2023, Amy Johnson, AP Physics Co-Director at College Board, posted this on the AP Physics Community: “A formal announcement of timelines for the revised AP Physics courses is expected Summer 2023. Revised courses will be launched no sooner than Fall 2024.  A workshop outlining the revisions will be available at the AAPT meeting in Sacramento, and at the AP Annual Conference in Seattle, both in July 2023. 

AP Summer institutes for the new courses will be available the summer before the redesigned courses launch.”
