Short answer: They're similar, but Calculus AB covers a bit more (and goes more in-depth) than Calculus 1.
Long answer:
The AP Calculus AB test covers differentiation (taking derivatives) and early integration (taking antiderivatives), including the concept/applications of an integral and integration by substitution. In college, Calculus 1 covers mostly differentiation and Calculus 2 covers additional strategies for integration and series.
I like to think of it like this:
A = Differentiation
B = Integration
C = Series
So Calculus AB covers differentiation and integration and Calculus BC covers integration and series.
College is more like:
Calc 1 = A
Calc 2 = B&C
Of course, this depends on how much you cover in high school and college.
What else can I help you with?
Which math is easier Calculus AB or Calculus BC?
Calculus AB tends to be easier due to it being mostly composed of the basic introductory to Calculus. Whereas Calculus BC contains information from AB but as well as further information which could possibly be somewhat more rigorous than AB.
How is the AP Calculus AB Test Scored?
Calculus AB is the branch of the calculus curriculum offered by the College Board exam administration. It differs from its counterpart, Calculus BC, in that AB only covers material into a standard "college" introductory calculus course.Usually, Calculus AB corresponds to a typical university's Calculus I course (or similarly named). In contrast, BC is a more accelerated course which covers material that corresponds to both Calculus I and II. This may vary depending on the university, as some combine both Calculus I and II into one course, in which case AB would only cover one semester of material.Calculus AB includes content based on limits, continuity, differentiation, integration, the IVT, the MVT, the EVT, and the FTC.
How many calculus courses are there?

How many multiple choices on ab calculus require calculator?
AB C
What is the difference between ap calculus ab and ap calculus bc?
yes it will definitely help you for BC next year.
What is Calculus AB?
Calculus AB is a Calculus course taught in high schools based on an AP curriculum. The class is supposed to ultimately prepare a student to take the AP Calculus AB exam in May. While the specifics might vary from school to school, the core of the curriculum are limit definitions, differentiations, integrations, and applications of all of the above.
Calculus derivative of A divided by B?
(a/b)'= (ba'-ab')/(b²)
Will the ap calculus ab exam have newton's law of cooling?
yes
What does AB in AP Calculus AB stand for?
I don't think they stand for anything. AB just means the first and second parts, and BC is the next parts.
How do you pass AP Calculus AB?
Study every single thing in math
What is BC calculus?
In High School, BC Calculus is an accelerated course in Calculus. It includes a full-year of the college course, while AB includes only half a year's worth. BC tends to move at a much faster pace and covers much more material than AB.
What IB Maths SL grade is equivillent to AP calculus AB level 4 OR 5.?
Somewhere between a 5-7 depending on how well you test and the internal assessments. As I understand it, Calculus AB is more in depth on calculus subjects than ib math but there are more topics in ib math.
