AP Calculus AB/BC compared to A Level Math/Further
I just wanted to know how does Advanced Placement Calculus AB/BC syllabus and difficulty etc compares to Edexcel/CIE Maths and Further Maths.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Well, APs are generally different to APs as some subjects like History AP require more memory skills where as A2 History requires analysis. In maths, the difference is a lot more diverse. Level wise, I would say A2 is harder as although more subjects are taught in AP, the depth you go into in A2 is more significant.

The Data Based Questions on the history APs require analysis...

I was just correcting you, it doesn't seem you have taken a history AP, I've taken two.

err, the topic. Just choose an option:
1. further math>calculus BC>Math
2. Further Math>Math>calculus BC
3. Calculus BC>Further Maths>Maths(i know this is impossible)
4. Math=Calculus BC
1. further math>calculus BC>Math
2. Further Math>Math>calculus BC
3. Calculus BC>Further Maths>Maths(i know this is impossible)
4. Math=Calculus BC

Who do you expect to answer this? Most people haven't taken both (actually most people haven't taken either!)

Well, i just was confused. I am taking A Level math, my school doesnt offer Further Math, so i was wondering if it would be any benefit to take up Calculus BC.
The calculus AB test is very general differentiation and integration. It didn't really have anything that complex to integrate or differentiate.
DBQ = Document Based Question
And the AP history tests are all analysis oriented. The M/C are why did this happen or what was the most significant factor ect. Very little of it is straight recall. Additionally, you get a much better score if you do analysis on all of the writing parts.
