How's it going, fellow students? I'm studying for the AP Calculus AB exam and I'm trying to find good practice exams and resources. Do y'all have any recommendations? Thanks!
Hey! It's great to see you're preparing for the AP Calculus AB exam. I'd recommend starting with the official College Board materials, as they closely resemble the actual exam. You can find free-response questions (FRQs) from previous years on the College Board website. Keep in mind that the exam format has changed over the years, so using questions from the most recent years is most beneficial.
The AP Classroom is another resource provided by College Board, where you can complete topic-wise questions and practice quizzes, as well as full-length practice exams if your teacher grants you access.
You might also consider using unofficial resources for more practice:
1. Khan Academy: They have a dedicated Calculus AB course with videos, practice questions, and quizzes that can help solidify your understanding.
2. Barron's AP Calculus book: This resource often includes both Calculus AB and BC material and has multiple practice exams along with detailed explanations of each question.
Remember to focus on understanding the main concepts and the underlying principles behind each topic. Time yourself while taking practice tests to mimic the exam experience and ensure you're comfortable with the time constraints. Good luck with your preparation!
