AP Calculus AB & BC Syllabus

What You'll Learn

Limits & Continuity

Limit definition, limit laws, squeeze theorem, continuity, and the Intermediate Value Theorem. The conceptual foundation of calculus.

Differentiation

Definition of derivative, differentiation rules (power, product, quotient, chain), implicit differentiation, and related rates.

📐

Applications of Derivatives

Mean Value Theorem, curve sketching, optimisation, linearisation, and L'Hopital's rule.

Integration

Riemann sums, Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, u-substitution, integration by parts (BC), and partial fractions (BC).

📊

Applications of Integration

Area between curves, volumes of revolution (disc, washer, shell), and accumulation functions.

Series (BC Only)

Convergence tests, Taylor and Maclaurin series, power series, radius and interval of convergence, and error bounds.

Exam Preparation

AP Calculus Exam Format

The AP exam tests both computational skill and conceptual understanding across two sections.

Section I: Multiple Choice

45 questions, 1 hour 45 minutes

  • -Part A: 30 questions, no calculator (60 min)
  • -Part B: 15 questions, calculator allowed (45 min)
  • -Tests breadth of knowledge across all units
  • -50% of total exam score

Section II: Free Response

6 questions, 1 hour 30 minutes

  • -Part A: 2 questions, calculator allowed (30 min)
  • -Part B: 4 questions, no calculator (60 min)
  • -Requires clear mathematical communication
  • -50% of total exam score
Our Approach

How We Help You Score a 5

1

Conceptual Depth

We teach calculus as a connected framework, not isolated procedures. Understanding the Fundamental Theorem deeply changes everything.

2

FRQ Writing Skills

We train you to write FRQ responses the way the College Board wants. Proper justification is the difference between a 4 and a 5.

3

Calculator Strategy

Knowing when and how to use your calculator saves critical time. We drill efficient calculator techniques for both sections.

4

AP-Style Practice

We use real AP past exam questions exclusively. No generic worksheets. You practise exactly what you will face.
