This site contains miscellaneous resources for students and teachers of Advanced Placement Calculus AB and BC. Some of the content was originally put together when I first started teaching in 2005, for the purpose of making classroom materials available to my students on the web. On this page you will find selected tutorials, references, worksheets, multiple choice and free response practice, summer review packets, and links to external resources. I hope you find these materials useful in your teaching or learning. For questions or comments email me at apcalc@pm.me or use the form at the bottom of this page.
Download and print a complete course and exam description from the College Board web site. Read the sections on Prerequisites and Course Goals. (Requires Acrobat Reader.) Tips on what to bring and what not to bring on the exam day. Read the calculator policy for Calculus AB and BC.
