The videos below are divided into two sections: resource and technology. In the resource videos, you’ll find information on scoring, common misconceptions and techniques for approaching topics in the released free-response questions. The technology videos show the tech solutions available using your graphing calculator.
Scoring and common errors
This video focuses on the scoring of the Free Response Question. The presentation is similar to a briefing at the AP® Calculus Reading, but condensed. The allotment of points, common student errors and present specific scoring examples are discussed.
Technology solutions and extensions
This video focuses on technology solutions to the Free Response Question, even if the question is not calculator-active. Additional examples are presented based on the information given in the Free Response Question for instructional use and in preparing for the AP® Calculus Exam.
Topic summary
This video presents a summary of a specific topic related to the Free Response Question. The examples included emphasize the use of technology, AP® Calculus-type questions, and some are left open for exploration and discussion.
