They write these questions in such a convoluted and unnecessarily complex way when the solution is so simple. The challenge on these AP tests isn't knowing the material, but rather comprehending the question

To all those watching this video that near the exam, know that this exam doesn't determine who you are or your cs skills. No matter the outcome, just know that we are still learners, always remember to find a passion for cs, and thank you Popfizz for this amazing video.

You are a god amongst us mere mortals, Jane!

The problem I have with code is the logic behind it. I also have trouble setting up the calculations for the code. I had to watch part b of question 1 three times before I understood the reasoning behind your pseudo code. I guess my brain just thinks differently and I end up over complicating things. Thank you for making these, I've been reviewing all day and these videos helped more than anything I've done so far!

[IndigoMist]

Thank you so much for going through these! They've really helped when I've gotten stuck or simply roused me to get up and go try these on my own when I don't want to look at an FRQ question.

[jacksaad]

I'm taking the exam tomorrow and was pretty nervous about it, I've been programming for years but dropped java ~2018. Was especially worried about the FRQ but I've been watching your videos and I must say thank you so much for making these! You're awesome!

[tuckerstrow]

Thank you so much for these videos! I really felt confident taking the test and it was due to these amazing tips.

At time 5:58 you would have to change the method header's data type to an ArrayList if you just want to return the ArrayList, but if you want to place all the elements of the array into the ArrayList, make changes to the elements of the array in the ArrayList, and then return a new array you would have to use a for-loop or a for-each loop to transfer those elements of the ArrayList back into an array so you can return the proper data type.

[johnhernandez]

My 2nd year teacher made us do something like q1 once and it was painful to do lol but at least we had like a week to do it. If I had to do that assignment in 1.5hrs I would probably cry. This q1 is different that than one but the issue is the INSTRUCTIONS ew
