the ap calculus ab covers the equivalent material of a single semester of calculus at the college level. in fact, this test covers a bit more than that — roughly one and a half semesters of calculus. this article outlines the topics that you may expect to see on the ap calculus ab exam.<\/p>\n

topics on the ap calculus ab exam<\/h2>\n

the material on the exam falls into three main categories, limits, derivatives, and integrals. however these topics are deeply intertwined. it’s not uncommon to encounter a free response question that requires methods from all three areas. <\/p>\n

limits and continuity<\/h3>\n

\"topics<\/p>\n

limits have to do with how graphs of functions behave. as x<\/em> approaches a number a<\/em>, what happens to the values of f<\/em>(x<\/em>)? related topics include asymptotes of graphs and theorems that require continuity.<\/p>\n
