AP Calculus AB Worksheets

Notes and unit tests — in the bundle

Every AP Calculus AB unit has three printable documents, not one: the practice worksheet above, which is free, and two that come with the AP Calculus AB bundle — a set of unit notes stating everything the unit defines, and a full end-of-unit test to sit closed-book. See what each one covers:

What AP Calculus AB covers

The eight sets follow the CED's own sequence, and each one carries a block for every topic in its unit — sixteen for limits and continuity, six for the chain rule and implicit differentiation, twelve for analysing functions with derivatives. Nothing is merged away, so a topic you are shaky on has its own questions rather than being folded into a neighbour's.

Two thirds of the AP examination is written without a calculator, so almost every question here is built to resolve by hand; the few that genuinely need one say so, and ask for the setup — the integral, the equation, the expression being maximised — rather than the number a calculator returns. The harder problems in each paid set are free-response in character: they turn on a choice of strategy, a justification that names its theorem and checks the hypotheses hold, or a step nobody signposted.

This is AB, not BC. Series, Taylor polynomials, parametric and polar functions, integration by parts, improper integrals, arc length, logistic growth and Euler's method are all outside the course and appear nowhere in these sets. The questions are original: the College Board's framework fixed which topics and notation are in scope and how a question should read, but no example, context or dataset is reused from it.
