Free Response

The most widely available, officially released portion of any AP Calc exam is the Free Response question. I have listed here the free response section from the past 5 years of AP Calclulus AB exams. The only year missing comes in 2020. The AP Calc AB 2020 entire exam was never released to the general public, and so I have skipped over that year.
I will be releasing my video solutions to all these sample free response questions over the course of the semester. Keep checking back in to see what the next release will be.

The Free Response section of the AP Calculus AB exam consists of two sections. A section that requires the use of a graphing calculator, and a section that does not allow a graphing calculator.
– Part A: 2 questions; 30 minutes; graphing calculator required.
– Part B: 4 questions; 60 minutes; calculator not permitted.
