All-in-One Page: Ace Your AP Calculus AB/BC Exams!

Heads Up, AP Calculus Students! 

This page features a comprehensive collection of AP Calculus AB/BC tutorial videos from my YouTube channel aligned with the full curriculum by Tony Record, College Board's CED, National Math & Science Initiative, and past AP Calculus exams. These videos are crafted to help you not only confidently succeed on the AP Calculus AB/BC exam but also deepen your mathematical understanding and sharpen your analytical thinking - skills essential for future coursework in linear algebra, differential equations, and multivariable calculus (Calculus III). 

Please be aware that AP Calculus is a college-level mathematics course and introduces concepts that are significantly more rigorous than what you may have encountered previously, so it is completely normal for some topics to feel challenging at first. While AP Precalculus consists of only 3 units, AP Calculus AB (roughly equivalent to Calculus I) covers 8 units, and AP Calculus BC (roughly equivalent to Calculus II) covers 10 units, including the particularly challenging Units 9 and 10 - all within just two semesters. As a result, AP Calculus BC moves at a faster pace than AP Calculus AB. 

“The more you embrace challenges, the stronger and more successful you become.” 

To help you succeed in this challenging class and stay on top of the material, I strongly encourage you to watch these videos before class to get a head start and after class to review and master what you have learned. If you are willing to practice regularly, value clear explanations, and take responsibility for keeping up with the coursework, these videos can be your secret weapon for aiming for a perfect score or a 5 on the AP exam. 

If you miss a class, it’s your responsibility to check the calendar and the reminder, watch the right tutorials, and catch up on any work so you don’t fall behind. Don’t wait until the last minute - manage your time wisely and stay dedicated as you prepare for your cycle exams, midterm, final exam, and the AP Exam in May. Staying consistent now will make a huge difference later!

“If you hear, you forget. If you see, you remember. But if you DO, you UNDERSTAND.”  

Note: For the digital AP exams, an embedded Desmos graphing calculator will be available within the exam platform for sections where calculator use is permitted. However, it's still recommended that you bring your own approved calculators, such as TI-Nspire CX II CAS calculator, which I used most in the videos, to the exam and ensure that you learn how to use them. Please check out and bookmark the following link for the Desmos version on the Digital PSAT, NMSQT, SAT, and AP Exams.

AP Calculus Exam Date: May 11th.
