AP (Advanced Placement) tests are supposed to test your knowledge of a specific subject to see whether or not you should deserve college credit for you knowledge. For calculus and physics, there is a multiple choice and a free-response section. Needless to say, if you can pass the test, it is safe to say that you have a very good grasp of the subject.
For those of you familiar with the AP tests, you know that they are very strict about their tests. They generally have you sign a paper that says you will never talk about the multiple choice questions and that you will not talk about the free-response questions till the questions have been published (which sometimes can take several years).
Fortunately, especially for those that will be taking an AP test in their future, some of the past free-response tests have been published for you to learn from. Now, without further adieu, here is the 2000 AP Free-Response Questions for Calculus AB.
There are two parts of the test, each spanning 45 minutes. The first section ONLY permits calculators. Of course, if you are looking at the test just for learning purposes, you do not need to follow such strict guidelines.
In future posts, I will take a look into some of the questions and try to help and perhaps give answers.
