That is the question.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What&#8217;s the Difference?<\/h2>\n<p>Broadly speaking, the BC test covers more material than the AB does.  This means that the BC test may be worth more college credit or equivalency if you score high enough on the exam.  <\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, it would be easier to score a 4 or 5 on the AB test than the BC test.  So this is a tough decision!<\/p>\n<h3>Content of the Exams<\/h3>\n<p>Everything that the AB test covers also shows up on the BC test (<em>Big Ideas 1-3<\/em>).  In addition, there are further topics to study in order to succeed on the BC (<em>Big Idea 4<\/em>).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Big Idea 1.  Limits and Behavior of Functions <em>(AB and BC)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Big Idea 2.  Derivatives and their Applications <em>(AB and BC)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Big Idea 3.  Integrals and their Applications <em>(AB and BC)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Big Idea 4. Sequences and Series <em>(BC only)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The BC exam also covers parametric, polar, and vector functions as well as more advanced integration techniques.<\/p>\n<p>For a more detailed list of topics for each exam, check out the following links:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/ap\/topics-ap-calculus-ab-exam\/\">What Topics are on the AP Calculus AB Exam?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/ap\/topics-ap-calculus-bc-exam\/\">What Topics are on the AP Calculus BC Exam?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_10111\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10111\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/files\/2017\/05\/shutterstock_565381135.jpg\" alt=\"young girl studying\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/files\/2017\/05\/shutterstock_565381135.jpg 500w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/files\/2017\/05\/shutterstock_565381135-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10111\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Study, study, study!  Both the AP Calculus AB and BC exams are very challenging!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3>AP Credits<\/h3>\n<p>For the majority of schools that offer college credits for high scores on the AP Calculus exams, the rule of thumb is that the AB exam counts as one semester of calculus, while the BC exam counts as two.<\/p>\n<p>However this is not a hard and fast rule.  In fact, every college and university sets its own policy.  Some schools only give <strong>equivalency<\/strong>, meaning that a student may qualify to skip a pre-requisite for their major based on their AP scores.<\/p>\n<p>For more details, take a look at the following helpful post: <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/ap\/good-ap-calculus-exam-score\/\">What is a Good AP Calculus Exam Score?<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Similarities Between the Tests<\/h2>\n<p>Ok so now that you know a little more about what sets these two exams apart, let&#8217;s talk about their similarities.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, the format is pretty much the same.  They are both standardized tests with two main sections, <em>multiple choice<\/em> and <em>free response<\/em>.  Furthermore, each section consists of two parts, <em>calculator permitted<\/em> and <em>no calculator<\/em>.<\/p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-100\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-100 tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<th class=\"column-1\">Section \/ Part<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-2\">Type of questions<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-3\">Number of questions<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-4\">Time Limit<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-5\">Calculator permitted?<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">IA<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Multiple Choice<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">30<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">60 minutes<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\">No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">IB<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Multiple Choice<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">15<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">45 minutes<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">IIA<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Free Response<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">2<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">30 minutes<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">IIB<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Free Response<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">4<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">60 minutes<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\">No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- #tablepress-100 from cache --><\/p>\n<p>Secondly,  no matter which test you plan to take, you&#8217;ll have to spend quite a bit of time and effort in prepping.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend getting a good test-prep book and starting early, perhaps using this <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/ap\/3-month-ap-calculus-exam-study-guide\/\">3-Month AP Calculus Exam Study Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Summary &mdash; AP Calculus AB or BC?<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on your goals and your level of preparation, you will have to choose which AP Calculus test is right for you.<\/p>\n<p>For more discussion about the tests, check out the following article: <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/ap\/difference-ap-calculus-ab-bc\/\">What&#8217;s the Difference between the AP Calculus AB and BC tests?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you&#8217;re planning to take an AP Calculus exam.
