You can improve your Knowledge and skills, significantly, by learning through our easy and effective AP Calculus online tutoring.

According to the College Board, who prepares Advanced Placement – AP curriculum and exam, the AP program offers college-level courses and exams that you can take in high school.

Please Note: Our AP courses are for preparation only. A credit will not be issued by us. Students wishing to earn an Advanced Placement credit must write the official AP exam which is administered by the College Board.

What is in AP Calculus?

This course is equivalent to University Calculus that students can take in grade 12. As a result, once accepted to a relevant program, student doesn’t need to take the course in university.

This course is either AB or BC. Few units or topics is only in BC course and not in AB. For instance, “Sequences and Series” is only in BC. The following units are included in AP Calculus course.

 

• AP Calculus AB; Includes the following units
  • Unit 1: Limits and Continuity
  • Unit 2: Differentiation: Definition and Fundamental Properties
  • Unit 3: Differentiation: Composite, Implicit, and Inverse Functions
  • Unit 4: Contextual Applications of Differentiation
  • Unit 5: Analytical Applications of Differentiation
  • Unit 6: Integration and Accumulation of Change
  • Unit 7: Differential Equations
  • Unit 8: Applications of Integration

• AP Calculus BC; Includes the following units
  • From Unit 1 to Unit 8 are same topics as in AP Calculus AB.
  • Unit 9: Parametric Equations, Polar Coordinates, and Vector-Valued Functions
  • Unit 10: Infinite Sequences and Series

The major difference between Calculus AB and BC is scope rather than difficulty. While both AP Calculus courses are designed to be college-level classes, Calculus AB is designed to cover the equivalent of one semester of college calculus over the span of a year.  Calculus AB covers derivatives, definite integrals and the fundamental theorem of calculus. Calculus BC, on the other hand, covers a full year of college-level calculus over the same period of time. It includes the topics covered in Calculus AB as well as parametric functions, polar functions, vector functions and analysis of series.

What are the benefits of passing an AP course in high school?

AP score will help you in many ways, and below are some of them:

• Earn College Credit: Most importantly, your AP score could earn you college credits before you even set foot on campus
• Earn Advanced Placement: Your AP score can let you skip introductory courses in college
• Save Money and Time: Earning credit or placement can open up time on your schedule or even let you graduate early
• Stand Out to Colleges: “AP” on your high school transcript shows colleges you’ve tackled college-level work
