Preparing Students for the Exams
This chapter will give you a brief overview of the
development and scoring processes for the AP Calculus AB
and Calculus BC Exams. You can find more detailed
information at AP Central (apcentral.collegeboard.com).
What Is the Purpose of the AP
Calculus AB and Calculus Be Exams?
The AP Calculus AB and Calculus BC Exams are designed
to assess how well a student has mastered the concepts and
techniques of calculus. The Calculus AB exam covers topics
typically included in about two-thirds of a yearlong college-
level calculus sequence; the Calculus BC exam covers topics
included in a full-year. college-level calculus sequence. The
multiple-choice section of the exams is designed to test
proficiency in a wide variety of topics. The free-response
section requires students to demonstrate the ability to solve
problems involving a more extended chain of reasoning.
Both Calculus AB and Calculus BC require a similar depth
of understanding of common topics. and graphing
calculator use is an integral part of the courses. Both the
multiple-choice section and the free-response section of the
exams contain parts where a graphing calculator is required
and parts where calculator use is prohibited. Qualifying
grades on the AP Calculus AB Exam can allow students
to begin their college careers with credit for a Calculus 1
course. Qualifying grades on the AP Calculus BC Exam can
allow students to begin their college careers with credit for a
full year of calculus (Calculus I and Calculus 2). Students in
both cases also have the opportunity to register for courses
for which calculus is a prerequisite.
Who Develops the Exams?
The AP Calculus Development Committee. working with
mathematics Assessment Specialists at ETS. develops the
exams. This Committee is appointed by the College Board
and is composed of six teachers from secondary schools.
colleges. and universities in the United States. The members
provide different perspectives: high school teachers offer
valuable advice regarding realistic expectations when
matters of content coverage. skills required. levels of
sophistication. and clarity of phrasing are addressed.
College and university faculty members ensure that the
questions are at the appropriate level of difficulty for
students planning to continue their studies at colleges and
universities. Both high school teachers and college faculty
bring technology expertise to the Committee. Committee
members typically serve for four years.
The Chief Reader also aids in the development process.
The Chief Reader attends every Committee meeting to
ensure that the free-response questions selected for the
exams can be scored reliably. The expertise of the Chief
Reader and the Committee members who have scored
exams in past y ~ s is notable: they bring to bear their
valuable experience from past AP Readings and suggest
changes to improve the quality and the performance of the
questions. In addition. the ETS mathematics Assessment
Specialists offer their advice and guidance.
How Are the Exams Developed?
The Development Committee sets the specifications for the
exams. determining what will be tested and how it will be
tested. It also determines the appropriate level of difficulty
for the exams. based on its understanding of the level of
competence required for introductory calculus courses in
colleges and universities. Each AP Calculus AB and Calculus
BC Exam is the result of several stages of development that
together span two or more years.
Section I-Multiple Choice
1. Development Committee members and outside item
writers write and submit multiple-choice questions
directed to the topic outlines in the Course Description
for AP Calculus: Calculus AB. Calculus Be.
1
2003 EXAM
Page 5 of 107
2. ETS mathematics Assessment Specialists perform
preliminary reviews to ensure that the multiple-choice
questions are worded clearly and concisely.
3. At the Committee meetings, which are held three times
a year, the Committee members review. revise, and
approve the draft questions for use on future exams.
They determine whether or not a question is appropriate
for testing a student's understanding of the concepts,
methods, and applications of calculus. They make sure
that the questions are clear and unambiguous. that each
question has only one correct answer, and that the
difficulty level of the questions is appropriate. For
questions on the calculator-required portion of the
exams, care is taken to ensure fairness regardless of the
graphing calculator used.
4. From the pool of approved questions, ETS mathematics
Assessment Specialists assemble draft exams according
to the specifications set by the Development Committee.
Many of the multiple-choice questions are pretested in
high school or college calculus classes to gather data
regarding the difficulty of the questions.
5. The Committee thoroughly reviews the draft exams in
various stages of their development, revising the indi-
vidual questions and the mix of questions until it is
satisfied with the result.
The Committee controls the difficulty level of the multiple-
choice section by selecting a wide range of questions,
subsets of which have been used in an earlier form of
the exam.
Section II-Free Response
1. Well in advance of the administration of the exams, the
members of the Development Committee write free-
response questions for the exams based on the exam
specifications. Appropriate combinations of questions
are assembled into draft free-response sections for the
exams at a Committee meeting. Questions may also be
selected from a free-response pool of questions that has
been developed over the years by the Development
Committee members.
2. The Committee reviews and revises these questions at all
stages of the development of the exams to ensure that
they are of the highest possible quality. Most of the
time at Committee meetings is devoted to work on the
free-response sections. The Committee considers, for
example, whether the questions will offer an appropriate
level of difficulty and whether they will elicit answers
2
that allow Readers to discriminate among the responses
along an analytic scoring scale of 0 to 9 points. An ideal
question enables the stronger students to demonstrate
their accomplishments while revealing the limitations of
less proficient students. Each free-response question,
however, is designed to have a part that is accessible for
the student who is prepared to take an AP Calculus Exam.
Question Types
The 2003 AP Calculus AB Exam and Calculus BC Exam
each contain a lOS-minute multiple-choice section
consisting of 45 questions-Part A: 55 minutes, 28 questions,
no calculator allowed; Part B: 50 minutes, 17 questions,
graphing calculator required-and a 90-minute free-response
section consisting of 6 questions-Part A: 45 minutes,
3 questions, graphing calculator required; Part B: 45 minutes,
3 questions, no calculator allowed. During the second timed
portion for Part B, students are permitted to continue
working on the questions in Part Awithout the use of a
calculator. The two sections are designed to complement
each other and to measure a wide range of calculus
concepts and skills.
Multiple-choice questions are useful for measuring a
student's level of competence in a variety of contexts. In
addition, they have three other strengths:
1. They are highly reliable. Reliability. or the likelihood that
students of similar ability levels taking a different form
of the exam will receive the same scores, is controlled
more effectively with multiple-choice questions than
with free-response questions.
2. They allow the Development Committee to include a
selection of questions at various levels of difficulty,
thereby ensuring that the measurement of differences in
students' achievement is optimized. For AP Exams, the
most important distinctions are between students
earning grades of 2 and 3, and 3 and 4. These distinc-
tions are usually best accomplished by using many
questions of middle difficulty.
3. They allow comparison of the ability level of the current
students with those from another year. A number of
questions from an earlier exam are included in the
current one, thereby allowing comparisons to be made
between the scores of the earlier group of students and
those of the current group. This information, along with
other data, is used by the Chief Reader to establish AP
grades that reflect the competence demanded by the
Advanced Placement Program, and that can be legiti-
mately compared with grades from earlier years.
2003 EXAM
Page 6 of 107
Free-response questions on the AP Calculus AB and
Calculus BC Exams require students to solve problems
involving a more extended chain of reasoning. The format
allows students to use their analytical, reasoning, and
writing skills to solve problems and present cogent answers
and explanations in writing their responses. Students may
be required to explain a particular concept or their methods
for solving a problem, interpret a problem in context, justify
their answers mathematically, or examine the reasonable-
ness of their solutions. The two-part format for the free-
response sections provides greater flexibility in the types of
questions that can be given while ensuring fairness to all
students taking the exams, regardless of the graphing
calculator used. The free-response format allows for the
presentation of uncommon yet correct responses .and
permits students to demonstrate their mastery of calculus
by a show of creativity.
Free-response and multiple-choice questions are
analyzed both individually and collectively after each
administration, and the conclusions are used to improve
the following year's exams.
Scoring the Exams
Who Scores the AP Calculus AB and Calculus
BCExams?
The multiple-choice answer sheets are machine scored. The
teachers who score the free-response section of the AP
Calculus Exams are known as "Readers." The majority of
these Readers are experienced faculty members who teach
calculus at a college, university, or high school in the United
States or Canada, with a few coming from schools abroad.
Great care is taken to obtain a broad and balanced group of
Readers. Among the factors considered before appointing
someone to the role are school location and setting (urban,
rural, etc.), type of institution (public, private), and years of
teaching experience. Every effort is made to obtain Readers
of both genders and varied ethnicity. University and high
school calculus teachers in the United States and Canada
who are interested in applying to be a Reader at a future
AP Reading can complete and submit an online application
via AP Central (apcentral.collegeboard.com/readers), or
request more information bye-mailing apreader@ets.org.
In June of 2003,626 calculus teachers and mathematics
professors gathered at Colorado State University in Fort
Collins, Colorado, to participate in the scoring session for
the AP Calculus Exams. Some of the most experienced
members of this group were asked to serve as Exam Leaders,
Question Leaders, and Table Leaders, and they arrived at the
Reading early to help prepare for the scoring session. The
remaining Readers were divided into 42 groups of 12-16,
with each group advised and supervised by two Table
Leaders. Under the guidance of the Chief Reader and Chief
Reader Designate, the 4 Exam Leaders, 9 Question Leaders
(who also served as Table Leaders), and 75 Table Leaders
assisted in establishing scoring guidelines, selecting sample
student responses that exemplified the guidelines, and
preparing for the training of the Readers. All of the free-
response questions on the 2003 AP Calculus AB and
Calculus BC Exams were evaluated by the Readers at this
single, central scoring session under the supervision of the
Chief Reader and Chief Reader Designate.
Ensuring Accuracy
The scoring process is designed so that all Readers assign
scores using the scoring guidelines in a consistent and fair
manner. The creation of detailed scoring guidelines, the
thorough training of all Readers, and the various "checks
and balances" applied throughout the AP Reading all
contribute to achieving this goal.
How the Scoring Guidelines Are Created
1. As the questions are being developed and reviewed
before the Reading, the Development Committee and
the Chief Reader discuss the scoring of the free-response
questions to ensure that they can be scored validly and
reliably. The Committee provides preliminary guidance
regarding the philosophy to be used in scoring the
various free-response questions. The Chief Reader
produces a rough draft of the scoring guidelines for each
free-response question for Committee input.
2. During the pre-Reading period, several important tasks
are completed:
First, the Chief Reader produces a draft of the scoring
guideline for each free-response problem. Exam
Leaders and Question Leaders receive copies of the
scoring guidelines and a set of actual student
responses selected by ETS Assessment Specialists. The
Exam Leaders and Question Leaders come to the
Reading site prepared to discuss revisions to the
scoring guidelines based on the review of student
responses.
The Chief Reader, Exam Leaders, Question Leaders,
Table Leaders, and ETS Assessment Specialists meet at
the Reading site to discuss, review, and revise the draft
scoring guidelines. The scoring guidelines are tested
by applying them to actual student responses to the
questions, and then revised and adjusted, if necessary,
to reflect not only the Committee's original intent but
also the full range of actual responses that will be
encountered by the Readers.

2003 EXAM

3. Once the scoring of student responses begins. no
changes are made to the scoring guidelines. Given the
expertise of the Chief Reader and the analysis of many
student responses by Exam Leaders. Question Leaders.
and Table Leaders in the pre-Reading period. these
guidelines can be used to cover the whole range of
student responses. During the first day of the scoring of
a particular question. Exam Leaders. Question Leaders.
and Table Leaders ensure that everyone evaluating
responses for that question understands the scoring
guideline and can apply it reliably and fairly.
Training Readers to Apply
the Scoring Guidelines
Because Reader training is so vital in ensuring that students
receive an AP grade that accurately reflects their perfor-
mance. the process is thorough:
1. On the first day of the Reading, the Chief Reader pro-
vides an overview of the exams and the scoring process
to the entire group of Readers. At the Calculus Reading.
Readers typically score four different free-response
questions during the course of the Reading. These are
usually two questions that are common to the Calculus
AB and Calculus BC exams, plus two other questions
from either the Calculus AB exam or the Calculus BC
exam. All Readers typically start with one of the
common questions and receive training for scoring
that question.
2. Each Question Leader directs a discussion of the ques-
tion for which he or she is responsible, commenting on
the requirements of the question and the expectations
for student performance. The scoring guideline for the
problem is explained and discussed.
3. The Readers are trained to apply the scoring guidelines
by reading and evaluating samples of student responses
that were selected at the pre-Reading session as clear
examples of the various score points and as the kinds of
responses that Readers are likely to encounter. Question
and Table Leaders explain why the responses received
particular scores and discuss the issues encountered in
various sample responses.
4. Once the Readers understand the scoring guidelines and
can apply them uniformly, the scoring of student
responses begins. Experienced Readers are paired as
"Table Partners" with less experienced Readers.
5. Table Leaders evaluate the responses scored by each
Reader early in the process to help ensure that Readers
are applying the scoring guidelines correctly.
4
6. Throughout the course of the Reading, Readers can
discuss with their Table Partner or Table Leader any
student response that presents a scoring difficulty. When
necessary. the Chief Reader. the Question Leaders. or the
Exam Leaders are consulted. Astudent response that is
problematic receives multiple readings and evaluations.
Maintaining the Scoring Guidelines
Each Reader scores a single question. not an entire exam.
Steps are taken to prevent the so-called halo effect-giving a
response a higher or lower score than it deserves because of
how well or poorly the student performed on other
questions on the exam:
Each question is read by a different Reader.
No marks of any kind are made on the students' papers.
The Readers record the scores on a scannable form,
which is identified only by the student's AP number.
Readers are unable to see the scores given to other
responses in the exam booklet.
The student's identification information is concealed.
Thus. each Reader can evaluate student responses
without being prejudiced by knowledge about individual
students. .
Here are some other methods that help ensure that Readers
are adhering closely to the scoring guidelines:
Table Leaders discuss prescored responses with Readers
each morning and during the day as necessary.
Readers are paired; every Reader has a partner to check
consistency and to discuss problem cases. Table Leaders
are also paired to help each other on questionable calls.
Table Leaders backread (reread) a portion of the student
papers from each of the Readers in that Leader's group.
This approach allows Leaders to guide their Readers
toward appropriate and consistent interpretations of the
scoring guidelines.
The Chief Reader and the Exam Leaders can monitor
use of the full range of the scoring scale for the group
and for each Reader by checking daily graphs of score
distributions.
Reliability data are periodically collected by having
Readers unknowingly rescore booklets and comparing
the scores of the first and second readings.
2003 EXAM

Preparing Students for the Exams
The AP Calculus courses (Calculus AB and Calculus BC)
consist of a full high school academic year of work that is
comparable to calculus courses in colleges and universities.
The Calculus AB and Calculus BC courses have significant
overlap, with Calculus BC including additional topics
in differential and integral calculus plus the topics of
polynomial approximations and series. Calculus BC
is an extension of Calculus AB rather than an enhance-
ment; common topics require a similar depth of under-
standing. Both courses are intended to be challenging
and demanding.
The Course Description for AP Calculus: Calculus AB,
Calculus BC includes a philosophy statement and goals for
the AP Calculus courses and mathematical prerequisites for
students studying calculus. As teachers focus on these goals,
not only will they be preparing their students for the AP
Calculus Exams; they will be preparing them for future
study and applications of mathematics. It is assumed that
most students preparing to take an AP Calculus Exam have
completed a course in calculus that included instruction in
the content areas outlined in the Course Description for AP
Calculus: Calculus AB, Calculus Be. Students who take an
AP Calculus Exam are expected to demonstrate competence
in calculus concepts and techniques.
Because the AP Calculus courses emphasize a multi-
representational approach, students should be able to work
with functions represented in a variety of ways: graphical,
numerical, analytical, or verbal, and understand the
connections between them. Students need to practice
mathematical writing skills to help communicate their
reasoning and explanations in the free-response portions of
the exams. Students should have experience with justifying
conclusions using calculus arguments. The exams have
moved away from rote manipulation and toward
questions that probe understanding of fundamental
calculus concepts.
Students should be comfortable with the use of a graph-
ing calculator, particularly the four required capabilities-
graphing a function within an arbitrary viewing window,
finding zeros of functions (solving equations numerically),
calculating derivatives numerically, and calculating definite
integrals numerically. Because the exams have non-
calculator parts, students are expected to know how to
compute derivatives and antiderivatives of basic functions
"by hand."
To do their best on the exams, students with the requisite
calculus skills should become familiar with the format,
timing, and particularly the directions for the free-response
section of the exams so that they will know what to expect
when they take an AP Calculus Exam.

The Calculus AB Exam
CALCULUS AB
A CALCULATOR CANNOT BE USED ON PART A OF SECTION I. A GRAPHING CALCULATOR FROM THE
APPROVED LIST IS REQUIRED FOR PART B OF SECTION I AND FOR PART A OF SECTION II OF THE
EXAMINATION. CALCULATOR MEMORIES NEED NOT BE CLEARED. COMPUTERS. NONGRAPHING
SCIENTIFIC CALCULATORS. CALCULATORS WITH QWERTY KEYBOARDS. AND ELECTRONIC WRITING
PADS ARE NOT ALLOWED. CALCULATORS MAY NOT BE SHARED AND COMMUNICATION BETWEEN
CALCULATORS IS PROHIBITED DURING THE EXAMINATION. A'ITEMPTS TO REMOVE TEST MATERIALS
FROM THE ROOM BY ANY METHOD WILL RESULT IN THE INVALIDATION OF TEST SCORES.
SECTION I
Time- 1 hour and 45 minutes
All questions are given equal weight.
Percent of total grade-50
Part A: 55 minutes. 28 multiple-choice questions
A calculator'is NOT allowed.
Part B: 50 minutes. 17 multiple-choice questions
A graphing calculator is required.
Parts A and B of Section I are in this examination booklet; Parts A and B of Section II. which consist of longer problems.
are in a separate. sealed package.
General Instructions
DO NOT OPEN THIS BOOKLET UNTIL YOU ARE INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.
INDICATE YOUR ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS IN PART A ON PAGE 2 OF THE SEPARATE ANSWER SHEET. THE
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS IN PART B SHOULD BE INDICATED ON PAGE 3 OF THE ANSWER SHEET. No credit
will be given for anything written in this examination booklet. but you may use the booklet for notes or scratchwork. After
you have decided which of the suggested answers is best. COMPLETELY fill in the corresponding oval on the answer
sheet. Give only one answer to each question. If you change an answer. be sure that the previous mark is erased completely.
Example:
What is the arithmetic mean of the numbers 1. 3. and 6 ?
(A)

(B) 3"
(C) 3
(D) 1

0
7
(E) 2
Sample Answer
Many candidates wonder whether or not to guess the answers to questions about which they are not certain. In this section
of the examination. as a correction for haphazard guessing. one-fourth of the number of questions you answer incorrectly
will be subtracted from the number of questions you answer correctly. It is improbable. therefore. that mere guessing will
improve your score significantly; it may even lower your score. and it does take time. If. however. you are not sure of
the best answer but have some knowledge of the question and are able to eliminate one or more of the answer choices
as wrong. your chance of answering correctly is improved. and it may be to your advantage to answer such a question.
Use your time effectively. working as rapidly as you can without losing accuracy. Do not spend
too much time on questions that are too difficult. Go on to other questions and come back to the
difficult ones later if you have time. It is not expected that everyone will be able to answer all
the multiple-choice questions.

DO NOT OPEN THIS BOOKLET UNTIL YOU ARE INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.
INDICATE YOUR ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS IN PART A ON PAGE 2 OF THE SEPARATE ANSWER SHEET. THE
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS IN PART B SHOULD BE INDICATED ON PAGE 3 OF THE ANSWER SHEET. No credit
will be given for anything written in this examination booklet, but you may use the booklet for notes or scratchwork. After
you have decided which of the suggested answers is best, COMPLETELY fill in the corresponding oval on the answer
sheet. Give only one answer to each question. If you change an answer, be sure that the previous mark is erased completely.

Sample Answer
Many candidates wonder whether or not to guess the answers to questions about which they are not certain. In this section
of the examination, as a correction for haphazard guessing, one-fourth of the number of questions you answer incorrectly
will be subtracted from the number of questions you answer correctly. It is improbable, therefore, that mere guessing will
improve your score significantly; it may even lower your score, and it does take time. If, however, you are not sure of
the best answer but have some knowledge of the question and are able to eliminate one or more of the answer choices
as wrong, your chance of answering correctly is improved, and it may be to your advantage to answer such a question.
Use your time effectively, working as rapidly as you can without losing accuracy. Do not spend
too much time on questions that are too difficult. Go on to other questions and come back to the
difficult ones later if you have time. It is not expected that everyone will be able to answer all
the multiple-choice questions. .
