Question Types

• AP® Exam Practice questions help prepare students for the AP Calculus AB and Calculus BC exams.
• Questions from the Fast Track to a 5: Preparation for the AP® Calculus AB and Calculus BC Examinations Workbook provide test-prep support to help students study quickly, efficiently, and effectively.
• Master It Tutorials (MI) show how to solve a similar problem in multiple steps by providing direction along with derivation so students understand the concepts and reasoning behind the problem solving.
• QuickPrep questions review twenty-five key precalculus topics to help improve student readiness for calculus. Assign any of these QuickPrep modules (or any of the questions from the modules) early in the course or whenever the review is most needed.
• Just-In-Time (JIT) problems are ideal for students who need to remediate their algebra and trigonometry skills. They are carefully selected prerequisite review problems tied to specific calculus problems and assignable at the section level.
• Video Examples (VE) ask students to watch a section level video segment and then answer a question related to that video. Consider assigning the video example as review prior to class or as a lesson review prior to a quiz or test.
• Explore It (EI) modules help students visualize the course's complex topics through hands-on exploration and interactive simulation.
• Active Examples (AE) guide students through the process needed to master a concept.
• Tools for Enriching Calculus (TEC) questions let calculus students interact with animations that deepen their understanding of key concepts by helping them visualize the concepts they are learning.
