Taking the AP Calculus AB / BC exam with an Approved Calculator

The AP Calculus exams are administered by the College Board to high school students for possible college credit.

According to the College Board, "the use of a graphing calculator is considered an integral part of the AP Calculus course, and is permissible on parts of the AP Calculus Exams."

Unlike the SAT exams, the College Board provides a list (click here for BC list) of graphing calculator models that are approved for use.

They assume that any graphing calculator a student uses to take the exam has the following four (4) capabilities:

• "Plot the graph of a function within an arbitrary viewing window"
  
• "Find the zeros of functions (solve equations numerically)"
  
• "Numerically calculate the derivative of a function"
  
• "Numerically calculate the value of a definite integral"
  

Calculator Town sells several graphing calculators that are approved for use on the AP Calculus AB & BC exams. Click on the links below to learn more about and buy these approved calculators.

• HP 39gs Graphing Calculator
