Sample Questions & Scoring Guidelines
The AP Calculus BC Exam covers the same differential and integral calculus topics that are included in the Calculus AB exam, plus additional topics in differential and integral calculus, and polynomial approximations and series. This is material that would be included in a two-semester calculus sequence at the college level. Because graphing calculator use is an integral part of the course, the exam contains questions that require students to use a graphing calculator. Students cannot take both the Calculus AB and Calculus BC exams during the same year.
