I’m taking AP CSA as my first AP class and haven’t taken CSP cuz my school does have it. I have very little programming knowledge(I know basic if then statement in python) and was wondering how hard the class is and if there is anything I should know before next year. Also what are some resources I should use next year and some to prepare over the summer
Thanks in advance
Did anybody else get the version with the Employee class and the seat chart? If you did, how did you do the overlapping hours method... that was the trickiest one for me. :(
Hi everyone, I decided to post a walkthrough of the 2026 AP Computer Science A free-response questions. If you have questions, I'd be happy to answer them!
i want to premise this by saying i am NOT good at cs. i averaged maybe an 80-85 on the unit tests and am atrocious at frqs
i honestly just accepted my fate and did like 25 mcqs and reviewed recursion last night. little to my surprise it was so freaking light
i had almost an hour left after the mcq and about 40 in the frq.
ugh so for some odd reason on FRQ 4 (points and colors) I used .indexOf(color)!=-1 to check if a color String matches another String. I think I did that frq right after the FRQ 1 where I used indexOf and completely zoned out afterwards. does anyone know if graders will take off points for this?
Did anybody else have these mcqs? Pls share answers and anymore u remember... accidentally fell asleep during the middle of the test and had no time to double check :,(
+ toanwith and inta intb intc
took the ap csa test today, got the employee frq, the absent one, and the survey one... what did yall do for those? test wasn't bad tho
i dont think i even got a 3... anyone relate?
genuinely had 40 mins left on frqs and they were like 10-15 lines of code only each. mcq was a little harder on time but still had 10 mins left to check answers. the random ahh questions about ethics and stuff was really just common sense. but really that shit was so light
I think it was relatively easier
MCQ vs FRQ
I was hoping for 3 and now I think I got 5🤣 That was the EASIEST MCQ and FRQ I've done in my WHOLE LIFE
missed 2-3 MCQ max finished in 40 minutes, missed 0 frq MAX finished in 30 minutes 😂😂😂
How’d it go ? bro I write so many for loops for the FRQs and did we create a new arraylist for Frq 4???
ik this year was relatively easier but no shot it goes above 85% right
I just crammed all the content and its midnight, i got exam at 12 pm tommorow. Can i fuckin do somethin and master the FRQs??? as they are higgh weightage 😭
what's the minimum points needed out of 80 to get a 5? albert says that it's roughly 62/80 (i saw this when i was just messing around with the calculator).
also, supposing I get like 39/42 in mcq, what is the minimum score I would need to score a 5? what is the score i would need on frq to comfortable secure a 5 s
Can someone explain how each frq will be formatted and where I can practice/learn each one
okay so for full length practice tests, i got a 31/42 on one and a 35/42 on the other for mcq
and i got like 21/25 for frq
how do i improve my mcq score??
Could somebody explain the difference? Thanks.
