Detailed Information
AP Computer Science Principles is a broad exam covering computational thinking, data analysis, algorithm design, programming, internet security and the societal impacts of computing. The exam consists of 70 MCQs and two performance tasks (Create Performance Task). Unlike Computer Science A, this exam is programming language-agnostic.
In AP CSP, the Create Performance Task requires students to independently develop a program and document the process. TestPrep CSP tutors provide one-on-one guidance on data abstraction, algorithmic efficiency and project documentation. Exam topics such as cybersecurity, data privacy and digital ethics are covered with current examples. Adapted lesson plans are available for both students with no programming experience and advanced students.
This subject is not part of our 2026-27 group program. One-on-one tutoring is available: lesson times are set around your schedule and the unit order follows what you need.
You can see which AP subjects do have a group course on the AP course page.
Core topics include creative development, data, and algorithms and programming; AP is a single-level course, so every student sits the same exam.
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.
The College Board publishes one Course and Exam Description per subject and the format holds across sessions. When a course is redesigned, we rebuild the plan around the new CED.
70 multiple-choice questions: 57 single-select, 5 with a reading passage about a computing innovation, 8 multiple-select
Program code, video and a student-authored Personalized Project Reference built in 9 hours of class time, plus 2 written-response questions in the end-of-course exam
We agree on a topic that fits the student's interest and the College Board scoring guidelines.
Per-draft criterion-based written feedback (e.g. analysis, justification, language).
Correct citation, source management and originality checks.
First draft → tutor feedback → editing → final submission.
Each topic is followed by College Board's released free-response questions, the sample questions in the Course and Exam Description and our own practice questions.
Every response is graded against the official College Board scoring guidelines.
Errors are tagged conceptual/careless/timing and reviewed weekly.

FAQ
The College Board sets every AP course and exam and publishes one Course and Exam Description used worldwide. Our plan follows that CED.
Diagnostic test → topic-order plan → weekly concept + question practice on topics like Creative development → practice test.
Yes. After every lesson we set a topic-specific problem set or written task and review it together next session.
Yes — every lesson is online, delivered worldwide over BigBlueButton with a digital whiteboard. There is no in-person option.
It depends on the target — typically at least 8-12 weeks to close gaps, ideally a full academic year for the complete syllabus.

It was good to see confidence returning over time. The overall experience was positive from beginning to end.
Bastien Lambert
The feedback I received on AP Computer Science Principles was clear and practical. When I got something wrong, we looked at why I chose that answer instead of only checking the solution. My written code answers became much more organized. My confidence improved along with the results. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster. Thanks to TestPrep for helping me stay on track.
Johan Holm
The lessons where I found the bug myself were the ones I remembered best. It was an intense period, but it was worth it.
Bianca Donati
What annoyed me most was losing easy points because I rushed. I went into the exam much calmer than I would have before.
Connor Hartley
I was doing questions for AP Computer Science Principles on my own but never had a steady routine. We didn't spend extra time on things I already knew. Predicting the output helped me catch small logic errors. My tutor usually asked me to explain my thinking before stepping in. Lesson times could fit around school, university or work. It was an intense period, but it was worth it.
Bruna Nunes
Breaking AP Computer Science Principles into smaller pieces worked much better for me. My confidence improved along with the results.
Oliver Lawson
Everyone recommended different resources and I kept switching between them. Having the lesson move at my pace made the process feel much easier. I started tracing code line by line instead of only reading it quickly. We could make the workload lighter during busy weeks at school or university. My tutor could see my reasoning and usually found the source of an error quickly. It was an intense period, but it was worth it.
Riccardo Valentini
Breaking AP Computer Science Principles into smaller pieces worked much better for me. I stopped doing a huge amount one week and nothing the next. My written code answers became much more organized. I wasn't trying to learn new topics at the very last minute. I went into the exam much calmer than I would have before. I was really happy with the lessons.
Martina Vitale
I chose AP Computer Science Principles this year and wanted to build a solid base from the beginning. I wasn't trying to learn new topics at the very last minute.
Tomas Segura
After my first attempt, I wanted the second round of preparation to feel more organized. Breaking AP Computer Science Principles into smaller pieces worked much better for me. We could make the workload lighter during busy weeks at school or university. My written code answers became much more organized. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster. I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.
Abbey Harcourt
My tutor could see my reasoning and usually found the source of an error quickly. The feedback I received on AP Computer Science Principles was clear and practical. My confidence improved along with the results. A big thank you to my tutor for all the support :)
Isla Teague
Anxiety became more visible as the exam got closer. Mistakes became something to work on rather than something to feel bad about. We were pleased with the support we received.
