    Great video. Wish this was made earlier though. I'm stuck in AP CSA with no experience in coding. :(

    If I don’t know much about computer science and i’m new to it, Do you think that I would have a very hard time taking AP Computer Science A?

    Thanks for the video Ajay! I still have a couple of questions. 1) Since you took AP CSP after AP CSA, would you say that AP CSP was more interesting than AP CSA? 2) Do you think you learned a lot of new material from AP CSP even though you took AP CSA first? 3) Would you say the AP exam was easy or hard for AP CSP? 4) In your opinion would you say AP CSP was an easy class in general? 5) What programming language did your teacher assign to use in AP CSP? Please answer these questions in this order.

      Ajay Gandecha Thanks for the answers! Btw would you say overall that you’re happy that you took AP CSP after AP CSA and that it was worth taking?

    Question : I took POE(Principal of Engineering), IED( Introduction to Engineering Design ) and AP Computer Principal . Which one should I take in the 12th grade between PLTW Digital Electronics or AP Computer Science A to be more helpful for entering an engineering college?

    I am learning it without AP teachers cuz my school doesn't have any AP program.
    Then, for the portfolio stuff, how should I make it as a portfolio? Is it ok to just submit the finalized program??
    thank you for the vid btw (❁´◡`❁)

    Hi! Your videos are very informative and helpful. I'm a rising junior and I'm going to self-study for AP Comp Sci A and AP Comp Sci Principles since they're not offered at my school. Do I need to take online courses to get credit or do I simply get credit after self-studying and taking the AP exam for these subjects?

    This course isn't offered in my school, but they're offering some "exam only" options. That's when you can take the exam but you'll have do 100% self teaching (and I have zero experience in coding so I dont even know where to start). What do you think?

    then... does it mean that there are no free-response questions in principle? But it turned into the project stuff? Hold on.. then this coming 2021 exam, if the same thing applies from the one of 2020(the Covid-19 home testing thing), then there is only project without multiple choice for the exam???
