AP Calculus Information and Intensives The upcoming AP exams will be unusual due to the Covid-19 outbreak. This year the exams will essentially be take home tests. The information I present here is specifically for the AP Calculus exams. You can find information on all the AP exams at the College Board’s website here: AP Exam Information I’d like to begin with a short list of the most important things you should know about the AP Calculus exams this year: Both AP Calculus exams will be administered on Tuesday, May 12, 2020 at 2 PM Eastern Standard Time. Each test will consist of just two free-response questions. You will have 30 minutes to complete and upload the first question (25 minutes to write your solution and another 5 minutes to upload your solution). This question will account for 60% of your grade. You will have 20 minutes to complete and upload the second question (15 minutes to write your solution and another 5 minutes to upload your solution). This question will account for 40% of your grade. Each question will require you to understand topics from at least two units. A calculator is not required for either question. However, you may use a calculator if you wish. Some topics that usually appear on the AP Calculus exams will be excluded. In particular, for the AB exam, you will not be tested on applications of integration. For example, you will not need to be able to compute any of the following: the area between two curves, cross sectional volumes, volumes of solids of revolution, average value over an interval, and other applications of integration. To help students prepare for the exam this year, I will be running four 30- minute AP Calculus AB intensive sessions via live video (Zoom) at a price of $10 per session. The topics I have chosen are based upon what I have found that students have the most difficulty with and what I think is likely to appear on the AB exam. Here is the list of topics: Position, Velocity, and Acceleration Intermediate and Mean Value Theorems Related Rates Differential Equations If you would like to be notified of these AP Calculus AB Intensive classes, please click the following link and enter your email address: AP Calculus AB Intensives – Notification List If you think that people you know might be interested in these intensive sessions for themselves or their children, please share it with them on Facebook: Thank you all for your continued support!
