Next Year for 10th & 11th graders Calculus B/C (Equivalent
of Calculus II)

AP Calculus AB = Calculus I in college

“A” – Differentiation

“B” – Integration

AP Calculus BC = Calculus II in college

“B” – Integration

“C” – Sequences and Series

Most students in this class will go to AP Calculus BC next

year and will receive an AB sub-score on the exam.

Some students will choose to go to AP Calculus AB because

they don’t feel confident in their differentiation.

Seniors will get a head start in their Calculus I course in

college next year but will not have enough Calculus to skip
Calculus I.
