Wow, that was totally awesome, I'm amazed at the quick response I got
from so many of you with resources that you use. Thanks so much to all
who replied.

I'm really trying to revamp my course so that it more directly prepares
students for the AP Exam. Next week is our semester exam. Anybody
already have a semester exam I can tweak for my class. I've never done
multiple choice for tests and would love to see some good examples.

Again, this is awesome, thanks to all you who are willing to share your
expertise, makes life much easier for those of us new to the game. I
look forward to soaking it up so I can use it on my students and share
it with other teachers I come in contact with.

Subject: [ap-calculus] New AP Teacher

This is my first year teaching Calculus as an official AP course. I've
taught it for the past 5 years and have had students taking the exam,
but have not specifically been gearing my teaching toward preparation
for the AP exam. I would love to see some of the work that is assigned
in your classes. Does anyone have a website that posts the assignments
that they give?

I'm teaching using the Larson/Edwards Calculus of a Single Variable AP
Edition 9th edition. I'm finishing up chapter 3 just before Christmas
break. How does this compare to others using the text? Anyone else
using this text? I would love to see what you have for a chapter 3
test.

Thanks!
Danny
