AP Computer Science A is an exam that teaches object-oriented programming, algorithm design, data structures and software engineering fundamentals using the Java programming language. The exam consists of 40 MCQs and 4 FRQs. FRQ topics include class design, array and ArrayList operations, 2D arrays and string manipulation.
Success in AP Computer Science A requires algorithmic thinking and debugging skills beyond Java syntax knowledge. TestPrep Computer Science tutors teach systematic solution approaches for each FRQ type: class hierarchy design, recursion usage and search/sorting algorithms. With regular coding practice and AP-format mock exams, our students aim for a perfect score of 5.
Core topics include Java basics, Classes and objects and Arrays and ArrayList; HL/extended levels add further depth.
We combine concise topic notes, conceptual questions and past-paper practice, with a weekly error-log review.
It depends on the target grade and starting level; typically 1-2 hours of tutoring per week plus 3-5 hours of independent work.
Paper structure, timing and weighting can vary by exam board/session; the lesson plan is finalised once the student's syllabus and target board are confirmed.
MCQ and/or structured/long-response questions
Practical, oral or research component where applicable to the syllabus
Paper structure, timing and weighting can vary by exam board/session; the lesson plan is finalised once the student's syllabus and target board are confirmed.
