AP
Calculus
AB
AP
courses
in
calculus
consist
of
a
full
high
school
academic
year
of
work
and
are
comparable
to
calculus
courses
in
colleges
and
universities.
It
is
expected
that
students
who
take
an
AP
course
in
calculus
will
seek
college
credit,
college
placement,
or
both
from
institutions
of
higher
learning.
Calculus AB should include all the prerequisites for a year's course in calculus and is designed to be taught over a full high school academic year. If students are to be adequately prepared for the Calculus AB Exam, most of the year must be devoted to the topics in differential and integral calculus. These topics are the focus of the AP Exam questions.

Calculus BC is a full-year course in the calculus of functions of a single variable. It includes all topics taught in Calculus AB plus additional topics, but both courses are intended to be challenging and demanding; they require a similar depth of understanding of common topics. A Calculus AB subscore is reported based on performance on the portion of the Calculus BC Exam devoted to Calculus AB topics.
AP
Computer
Science
A
AP
Computer
Science
A
is
an
introductory
computer
science
course
that
emphasizes
object-oriented
programming
methodology
with
a
concentration
on
problem
solving
and
algorithm
development,
and
is
meant
to
be
the
equivalent
of
a
first-semester
college-level
course
in
computer
science.
It
also
includes
the
study
of
data
structures,
design,
and
abstraction.
The nature of the AP course is suggested by the words "computer science" in the title. Their presence indicates a disciplined approach to a more broadly conceived subject than would a descriptor such as "computer programming." There are no computing prerequisites for the AP course. It is designed to serve as a first course in computer science for students with no prior computing experience.
AP
Statistics
AP
Statistics
is
appropriate
for
secondary
school
students
who
wish
to
complete
studies
equivalent
to
a
one
semester,
introductory,
non-calculus-based,
college
course
in
statistics.
Statistics and mathematics educators who serve as members of the AP Statistics Development Committee have prepared the Course Description and exam to reflect the content of a typical introductory college course in statistics . The exam is representative of such a course and therefore is considered appropriate for the measurement of skills and knowledge in the field of introductory statistics.
