AP Calculus AB Test Prep Online

Help your child score better for just $19 per hour!

AP Calculus AB is the first Calculus course prescribed in the Advanced Placement
Program developed by the College Board. It is a rigorous course for college-bound students. It draws upon the concepts and skills from previous Math courses, especially Precalculus, and imparts skills that will be invaluable in the technical fields.

Course Description

Our curriculum covers all of the material outlined by the College Board as necessary to prepare students for the AP Calculus AB exam. This course is designed to acquaint students with:

  • Calculus principles;
  • the connections among Functions, represented in a variety of ways;
  • Derivatives, in terms of rate of change and local linear approximation;
  • Definite Integrals (both as a limit of Riemann sums and as the net accumulation of change);
  • use of Derivatives and Integrals to solve a variety of problems;
  • the relationship between the Derivative and the Definite Integral as expressed in both parts of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

How does it help?

Emphasis is given to understanding and problem solving, using a Graphing Calculator to free up time to examine ideas in more detail, to gain experience in the use of Calculus methods, and to learn how Calculus methods may be used in practical applications. With tests and homework compiled from the past AP Exam, students become experts in making accurate and clear responses.

Students are encouraged to learn the correct terminology emphasized in the texts, and are required to explain their results in class and to provide verbal justifications of their answers. Also, they are taught to use complete, grammatically correct sentences in their explanations rather than short expressions, thus preparing them to meet all requirements for Free-Response questions. On an almost daily basis, problems are assigned which not only finely hone calculation skills, but also review many of the key content ideas from Calculus.
