Ap Calc: form A and B

<p>What is the difference in the free response section between form A and form B?</p>

<p>Where in the world it's given. Form A is basically for the continental United States and similar time zones. Form B is primarily Europe.</p>

<p>The idea is that people who have finished the AP Exams shouldn't be able to give the questions to people who haven't started them yet.</p>

<p>So I can study off both forms of previous years right?</p>

<p>I would think so. I think the Form A's and Form B's tend to look more like each other than the other types, but then a lot of people thought 2007's Form A looked a lot like the Form B's of the past.</p>

<p>yep. both forms ask about similar concepts, but the questions are diff. so that, as posted above, people in later time zones can't cheat off people from earlier time zones on exam day.</p>

<p>studying off both just give you more practice, which is a plus.</p>

<p>You both are very helpful and I really appreciate it. Also, would any of you happen to know where I can get pre-2000 free response questions for Calc AB? as springflower said, the more practice the better.</p>

<p>You want to be careful about going too far back. In 1998, the AP Calculus exam underwent a major philosophical shift from doing problems involving heavier computation to doing problems involving heavier conceptual understanding.</p>

<p>Some have argued that the 2007 exam went back a little bit towards some of the heavier computation pieces. When I looked at the FR, it looked more like it went back a little bit, but not as far as most people were claiming. It seemed more like a hybrid. I'm uncertain whether the 2007 exam represnts a change back, or whether it was a one-time aberration.</p>

<p>Given all that, the College Board sells these on their websites, or a dedicated Google search would probably yield additional questions and/or answers. Technically, any question sets that are on the web that are not on the College Board website should not be out there and are in violation of copyright law, so if you do find a set, I'd download it rather than bookmarking it and hoping it will still be there later. (The Mr. Calculus website has an interesting link to the letter he received from the College Board asking him to cease and desist in posting the questions.)</p>
