Took this course last year, taking exam this year, any tips?

I took Csp last year and forgot to sign up for the exam. I took csa and just took the exam which was pretty easy I’d say. How’s the csp exam and what should I do to quickly refresh myself? I have the exam this Thursday.

Can I get a 5

I think I got a 4/6 create task, it could be a 5/6 but only if I’m really lucky

For MCQ I lowk may have gotten a perfect score, every single answer I’ve found online has been correct + I checked my answers like 3 times

Is this wrong for frq 2c?

Frq 2c: Consider the list included in part (i) of the List section of your Personalized Project Reference.Explain how the list uses abstraction to manage complexity in your program. Suppose the list was not included in your program. Describe how you would need to adjust the code segment
in part (ii) of the List section of your Personalized Project Reference so that it has the same
behavior. If it is not possible to have the same behavior without the use of the list, explain
why

Basically, my program was a restaurant finder where all the restaurants were stored in the list. Therefore, I argued that my program wouldn’t function correctly without the list because the program would have nothing to iterate over and check to see if it could return to the user. But ChatGPT says it’s wrong because technically the question is asking how could you adjust it and you should just say that you need different variables to check each restaurant. Did I get the point or no?

should I cancel my ap score?

I feel like I got 2 out of the 4 frqs wrong (1 is for sure I believe, the other is iffy) and I think max I got 12 questions wrong so if that happens I’ll be in a 3 range , I’m honestly so devastated bc I studied so much but I know I’ll be devastated even more if I open and see a 3

for the frq that asked to call your argument that your program would accept but produces the wrong error I changed some of my code for that and switched my if/else statement then stated that if the user input a temp , it would produce the wrong bake time

for the other frq about iteration, I said that my variables were cookie, temp and that once the user inputs a valid input then once it looks for the cookie in the list and searches for it and finds it my code stops but then chatgpt said that the variable that controlled iteration was actually i and that it never stops iterating until it reaches the end of the index , not when it finds the cookie that the user inputted

is there still hope? I’m okay with canceling I guess I’ll just practice more next year and not make these mistakes , so should I?

C: maximum age >= 12 minimum age <= 12
D: I don’t remember

Curve is stupid

ok ok I get that AP CSP is supposed to be an easier AP but 90% for a 5 is absolutely abysmal, literally a single dumb mistake is all it takes to drop to a 4

I‘ve known some super smart people with coding experience get 4s just because they didn’t understand college board’s bum wording on an FRQ

change it to at least 80 or 85 please

2026 Exam

Why was the CSP Exam so hard? I'm sooo scared! Ik everyone says that its easy but my teacher did not teach us anything and everyone in my class were struggling. I grinded khan academy and practice questions. I got the harder frq the ones where we had to say how our code would be with no lists. I'm terrified. My MCQ was not that great either. It was mid and frq I prob got like 2/4. Do colleges care if I submit this score? I want to major in computer science so this is bad :(

Please guide me and dont judge me for thinking this exam is hard. I swear ap pre calc is easier...

AP CSP Create Task Iteration

Completed my Create Task the night of the deadline, realized the day of the exam I didn't really have iteration in my code.

On the PPR, I definitely didn't have iteration. I had an if statement that checked if a certain value in the score variable was reached: the program would continue, and, eventually, loop back to the procedure until the score was at the desired value, where the code to incite the end of my program would run and stop the looping. So, I BSed on the FRQ response about how since the program repetitively checked and altered the variable until the value was reached when the procedure was called, it was iteration (despite the reliance on a conditional, and that the looping procedure had to be called by the user).

On that FRQ response, I'm rather certain I won't get the point. However, I'm not sure about the Create Task point. Elsewhere in my algorithm, I have ".filter," which is technically considered iteration, even though it isn't the typical for/while loop.

Can anyone evaluate my chances of getting either point? (the point for the Create Task, and the point for the iteration FRQ)

Thank you!! :)
