About
If the thought of taking AP Computer Science Principles this coming school year is a little nerve-racking for you (or if you just want to see what the course is like!), this series is the perfect place to start. Over the course of this three-week series (with two sessions each week), we will discuss each of the five Big Ideas tested on the MCQ portion of the exam during the first five sessions. In the sixth session, we will look at the requirements for the performance task and try out some sample FRQ questions. Having earned a 5 on the AP exam and an A in the course last year, I hope to help each of you feel more confident about AP CSP by the time school starts back up.
