WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH

Outcomes, not lecture notes.

01

Evaluate limits from graphs, tables, and algebra, and classify discontinuities

02

Apply the power, product, quotient, and chain rules, plus implicit and inverse differentiation

03

Solve related rates and motion problems and interpret the meaning of a derivative in context

04

Use derivative tests and the Mean Value Theorem to find extrema, concavity, and optimal values

05

Approximate area with Riemann sums and evaluate integrals using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and u-substitution

06

Calculate the area between curves and volumes of solids using the disc, washer, and cross-section methods

07

Model change with separable differential equations, slope fields, and exponential functions

08

Work through AP-style multiple-choice and free-response questions with pacing strategies for both calculator and non-calculator sections

Hundreds of high school students have Brian Ding to thank for their college credits and acceptances. After all, Brian has taught every AP math and computer science class, in addition to serving as an AP computer science reader and grader, and a computer science instructor at Johns Hopkins. In his continued efforts to bring engaging STEM instruction to the masses, Brian even installed an e-Glass enabled teaching studio in his home–which he debuted to rave reviews for Varsity Tutors students and where he continues to help students ace their APs and learn to love math and computer science.

ABOUT THIS CLASS

The AP Calculus AB exam covers a full year of math, and this 8-week review gives you the runway to master every piece of it. Built around the exam's units, the course moves from limits and continuity through the definition and rules of differentiation, implicit and inverse functions, and contextual and analytical applications of derivatives, then on to integration, accumulation of change, differential equations, and area and volume. Each session combines focused concept review with AP-style multiple-choice and free-response practice, so you build the speed, accuracy, and test-day instincts the exam demands. Whether you're aiming to lock in a 5 or just want to feel genuinely prepared, this course gets you there with time to spare.

SYLLABUS

High-Yield Units A targeted review of the units that carry the most weight on the AP Calculus AB exam, like derivatives and their applications, integration and accumulation of change, and differential equations, so your study time goes where the points are.

Question Formats and Common Mistakes See how the exam asks about each topic, from calculator and no-calculator multiple choice to free-response questions built on tables, graphs, and real-world rates, and learn to avoid the errors that cost the most points: forgetting the chain rule, dropping units or the constant of integration, and stating a conclusion without the theorem that justifies it.

Free-Response Technique Learn how AP free-response questions are scored point by point, what each task verb asks for, and how to show your setup, justify conclusions with the right theorem, and earn partial credit even when the final number goes wrong.

Exam-Day Game Plan Pace yourself across both sections, know which questions to tackle first, know when the calculator is allowed and when it isn't, and build a plan for the days before the exam so you walk in ready.
