Frequently Asked Questions About AP Calculus AB Tutoring

Get answers to common questions about AP Calculus AB prep

AP Calculus AB covers limits and continuity, derivatives and their applications, integrals and accumulation, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. The exam has 45 multiple-choice questions and 6 free-response questions.

AP Calculus AB is equivalent to a first-semester college calculus course, while BC covers both semesters. AB focuses on differential and integral calculus fundamentals. BC adds series, parametric equations, polar coordinates, and more advanced integration techniques.

We practice with real released FRQs from previous exams, focusing on showing proper work, understanding what graders look for, and managing time effectively. We cover common question types like rate/accumulation problems, differential equations, and area/volume calculations.

Ideally, start targeted AP prep 2-3 months before the exam. However, I also help students throughout the year with their regular coursework to build a strong foundation for exam success.
