Why Enhanced Prep?
Many tutoring companies claim that they can help students increase their test scores, but very few can support those claims and almost none of them focus on a student's ultimate goal - getting into their dream school.

At Enhanced Prep, we provide a truly customizable approach to tutoring, focusing on each student's specific needs. We match students with the right tutor who can help them study for a biology test one day and prep for their upcoming college entrance exam the next.

What Is AP Calculus AB?
AP Calculus AB is a college-level course taken by high school students, usually in their junior or senior year; they are introduced to the subject of calculus and may gain college credit for the course if they pass the accompanying AP Calculus AB exam at the end of the year. Their exam results may also be used to determine college course placement. The AB course specifically is meant to represent a first-semester college course, meaning students learn calculus concepts that are only taught in a first-semester class. The course covers topics such as continuity and limits, differential equations, implicit, composite, and inverse functions, and applying calculus concepts to real-world scenarios.
The AP Calculus AB Exam: What You Need to Know
The AP Calculus AB Exam is offered in May every year toward the end of the academic year when students complete their course. The exam lasts 3 hours and 15 minutes and is divided into multiple-choice (45 questions) and free-response (6 questions) sections, with 1 hour and 45 minutes dedicated to multiple-choice and 1 hour and 30 minutes for free-response. Each section is worth 50% of the exam score. A graphing calculator is required for both parts of the exam and students are responsible for bringing their own. The exam is scored on a scale of 1-5, with 1 meaning a student is not qualified to earn college credit and 5 meaning a student is extremely well qualified. Students must register for the exam in the fall; the date varies, but a late fee may be required if students register afterward. Students register and pay exam fees through their school’s AP coordinator, although some schools automatically register their students.
