AAPT Physics Bowl Competition

What Is AAPT Physics Bowl Competition?

PhysicsBowl is AAPT’s international, school-supervised high-school physics competition. Students take a 40-question, 45-minute multiple-choice test in first- or second-year physics divisions; school-team results combine the top five scores. Approved proctoring is required, including for homeschooled students, and specified countries register through ASEEDER. The accepted pages describe the completed March–April 2026 exam and say 2027 registration will open in December. A new exam schedule, deadline and current entry price are not announced.
