Question 1

How do Thinkwell courses work?

Accepted Answer

Your student watches a 5-10 minute online video lesson, completes the automatically graded exercises for the topic with instant correct-answer feedback, then moves on to the next lesson! The courses are self-paced, or you can use the daily lesson plans. Just like a textbook, you can choose where to start and end, or follow the entire course.

Question 2

Is Thinkwell Calculus BC® compatible with AP® certified by the College Board®?

Accepted Answer

The College Board® states at their website: “The AP Course Audit process is designed to review AP courses in their entirety, so only schools (whether brick-and-mortar or virtual) can submit course syllabi for review.” Since Thinkwell is a publisher and not a school, our materials can’t be certified. We strive to make this distinction, which is why you see this statement: AP® is a registered trademark of the College Board, which was not involved in its production. This course is designed for self-study preparation for the AP® exam and has not been audited by the College Board®.

Question 3

What’s the difference between the Thinkwell Calculus course and the separate AP® versions?

Accepted Answer

The content of Thinkwell’s Calculus is very similar to the AB and BC course versions. So in a sense, you may feel like you’re getting a two-for-one deal, which is great. However, the College Board offers the Calculus AB & BC exams these ways: 1) Take the CAL AB exam only, 2) Take the CAL AB & BC exams sequentially (one each year), or 3) Skip the CAL AB and take the BC since it includes AB. Therefore, for #1 use our AB course, for #2 use our AB course then our BC course next year, and for #3 use our regular CAL course so you get both semesters in one year.

Question 4

Can I share access with more than one student?

Accepted Answer

The courses are designed and licensed to accommodate one student per username and password; additional students need to purchase online access. This allows parents to keep track of each student's progress and grades.

Question 5

When does my 12-month online subscription start?

Accepted Answer

It starts when you're ready. You can have instant access to your online subscription when you receive your registration email, or you can purchase now and start later.

Question 6

Does my student get school credit for Thinkwell Calculus BC®?

Accepted Answer

No, only schools are accredited and Thinkwell is not a school, though many accredited schools use Thinkwell. Getting AP® credit is accomplished by taking the AP exam®.

Question 7

How are grades calculated?

Accepted Answer

The course grade is calculated this way: Chapter Tests 33.3%, Midterm: 33.3%, Final: 33.3%.

Question 8

Can I print the exercises?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but completing the exercises online provides immediate correct answer feedback and automatic scoring, so we recommend answering the exercises online.
