AP Calculus AB Practice ExamBy: Patrick CoxOriginal non-secure materials written based on previous secure multiple choice and FRQquestions from the past three years. I wrote this as a way for my students to have access tomultiple choice and FRQ since secure materials can’t be used outside of class.Feel free to use in your class, post to the internet/classroom, you will find the answer keyto the multiple choice and FRQ at the end. Below, you can find which problems can beanswered after each unit in the CED (although questions definitely can span acrossmultiple units in the CED). I do not work for Collegeboard so these categorizations are tothe best of my knowledge using the public CED.Pages 2-15 Non-Calculator MCPages 16-23 Calculator MCPages 24-27 Calculator FRQPages 28-34 Non-Calculator FRQPages 36-42 SolutionsQuestions By Unit in CED:Unit 1: 21, 24, 76, 90, FRQ 1(a), FRQ 5 (d)Unit 2: 6, 8, 25, 28, 80, FRQ 5 (c), FRQ 6 (a)Unit 3: 14, 16, 81, FRQ 4 (c), FRQ 6 (b)Unit 4: 5, 10, 12, 18, 23, 87, 88, FRQ 1(d), FRQ 2 (b) (c), FRQ 5 (b) (c), FRQ 6 (d)Unit 5: 9, 13, 15, 82, 83, 84, 85, FRQ 3 (b) (c)Unit 6: 3, 4, 11, 19, 20, 22, 29, 78, 79, 86, FRQ 3 (a) (d), FRQ 5 (a) (b), FRQ 6 (c)Unit 7: 2, 7, 27, FRQ 4 (a) (b)Unit: 8: 1, 17, 26, 30, 77, 89, FRQ 1 (b) (c), FRQ 2 (a) (d)
