AP Calculus Crash Course and Information

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:

  1. Both AP Calculus exams will be administered on Tuesday, May 12, 2020 at 2 PM Eastern Standard Time.
  2. Each test will consist of just two free-response questions.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Each question will require you to understand topics fromĀ at least two units.
  6. A calculator isĀ not required for either question. However, you may use a calculator if you wish.
  7. 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 an AP Calculus AB crash course via live video (Zoom). Beginning Sunday, May 3 at 4:30 PM, I will be spending 15 to 20 minutes going over AP Calculus AB problems. The classes will be interactive. I will answer questions and provide clarifications in real time. I will then spend additional time after completing the problems to answer any further questions. If you would like to sign up for all the classes, use the following link to register:
