AP Computer Science Principles

Computer science is everywhere, from our smartphones and video games to music, medicine, and much more. AP Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) can help you understand how computing and technology influence the world around you. Learn how to creatively address real-world issues while using the same tools and processes that artists, writers, computer scientists, and engineers use to bring ideas to life.

If you want an easy AP grade with minimal work, take this class. If you want to learn Comp Sci, you’re better off smashing a keyboard over your head than taking this class.

For students with no previous computer background, this is an excellent course. And yes, you do need to study to get a 5 on the exam.

Easiest class ever. You don't even need to have any computer knowledge what so ever to do well. The concepts are so simplistic you can essentially ace the class before ever taking it.

[garrettbreedon]

If you’ve touched a computer you can get a five on the exam.

Finally we got a prep book for this class. The Crash Course book just came out yesterday and it's really helpful.

dont get fooled by the comments guys, this course can be EXTREMELY difficult for someone whos taking it with little or no previous computer science knowlege. You will literally fail the class if you don't study very very hard. And scoring a 5 on the ap comp sci exam is NOT AS EASY AS PEOPLE SAY IT IS! For the people that said it is easy to score a 5 on this exam is either a tryhard kid who studys everyday without sleeping and is telling you it is easy to get a 5 just to showoff to you that he is smart, or it could be a person thats just talented in computer science, or someone with a 150 iq. If you are a person who doesn't have prior coding and computer science knowleges and you decide to take this class, it's a guarantee fail if you don't study your ass off pretty much every single day

AP Computer Science Principles focuses less on the actual coding aspect, and more on the principles of what you’re doing. It wants you to learn how to be abstract, how to be creative and think differently, and how what your creating will effect the world. It will be known from the start of the class that all things related to technology have a benefit and harmful effect when used the way it was intended, and AP Computer Science Principles is basically “what can we create to make life easier and better on this planet”.

I'm a freshman taking this class without any previous computer science knowledge and I HATE THIS CLASS, it is very very difficult for me and I'm literally failing it. Really regret taking this class.

It was an honor and a privilege to be apart of the AP Computer Science Principles Around the Country documenter. One behave of Star City High School, thank you.

[hmmok]

CSP is a joke. If you want something relevant to actual coding, Comp Sci A is the better choice. IM CRINGING LMFAO.

[cybergamer]

y'all in America so lucky you have AP classes in my country only the most expensive school offer AP Classes

[bhrzy]

So they used block coding and I’m using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS sounds fair to me 😂

[thiagogregory]

Notice how only nerds and kids with no friends are commenting to flex how this class is “easy”.

[mythillian]

I start this class next week does anyone have any tips?? I have 4 years of programming experience in c# and python

[parbar]

i still have no idea whether or not i should take this

[Aliyahsarchive]

I’m so scared of taking this class. Imma be a freshman n this is the only AP class I can actually take n I’m scared imma fail😩😩

[l_vwv_l]

I have to take this class for my school and so far it’s light but I think it will get worse but hopefully not

[GlennPlaysMC]

I did this class and it was the most boring thing I've ever done. There were 4 people in the class including me. I didn't learn a thing maybe it as the teacher.

[dudeguy]

If you’re an somewhat intermediate coder is it even worth taking this class?
