2020 AP Calculus AB Practice Exam
By: Patrick Cox
Original non-secure materials written based on previous secure multiple choice and FRQ
questions from the past three years. I wrote this as a way for my students to have access to
multiple 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 key
to the multiple choice and FRQ at the end. Below, you can find which problems can be
answered after each unit in the CED (although questions definitely can span across
multiple units in the CED). I do not work for Collegeboard so these categorizations are to
the best of my knowledge using the public CED.
