Book Preface

Diagnostic Tests

The diagnostic tests for both AB and BC Calculus are practice AP tests. They are followed by solutions keyed to the corresponding topical review chapter.

Review and Practice

“Topical Review and Practice” includes 10 chapters with notes on the main topics of the Calculus AB and BC syllabi and numerous carefully worked-out examples. Each chapter concludes with a set of multiple-choice questions, usually divided into calculator and no-calculator sections, followed immediately by answers and solutions.

This review is followed by further practice: (1) Chapter 11, which includes a set of multiple-choice questions on miscellaneous topics and an answer key and answer explanations; (2) Chapter 12, a set of miscellaneous free-response problems that are intended to be similar to those in Section II of the AP examinations. They are followed by detailed solutions.

In this ebook, review material on topics covered only in Calculus BC is indicated by an asterisk (*), as are both multiple-choice questions and free-response-type problems that are likely to occur only on a BC examination.

Practice Tests

The next part of this book, titled “AB Practice Tests” and “BC Practice Tests,” has three AB and three BC practice tests that simulate the actual AP examinations. Each is followed by answers and explanations.

Online Practice

In addition to the two diagnostic tests and six practice tests within this book, there are also four full-length online practice tests. You may take these tests in practice (or untimed) mode or in timed mode. Two of these online tests mirror the AB test, and the other two mirror the BC test. Detailed answers and explanations are provided for every question. Refer to the card at the beginning of this book, which provides instructions for accessing these online tests.

For Teachers

The teacher who uses this book with a class may profitably do so in any of several ways. If the book is used throughout a year’s course, the teacher can assign all or part of each set of multiple-choice questions and some miscellaneous exercises after the topic has been covered. These sets can also be used for review purposes shortly before examination time. The practice tests will also be very helpful when reviewing toward the end of the year. Teachers may also assemble examinations by choosing appropriate problems from the sample miscellaneous practice questions in Chapters 11 and 12.

For Students

Students who use this book independently will improve their performance by studying the illustrative examples carefully and trying to complete practice problems before referring to the solutions.
