NEW: The number of students taking the AP Computer Science Principles exam jumped over 50% in just one year. #APCSP https://t.co/kRiNpANHe8

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

AP Computer Science A FRQ2 (ArrayList) was the most challenging this year, very effectively distinguishing students who qualify for a 5 from those who receive 4s,3s. Students earning a 5 overall are generally getting 8-9 of 9 pts possible on this question. https://t.co/1GusXhnzil

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

AP Computer Science A students generally continued to perform well on the FRQ about class design (#3), and also on the frog simulation question (FRQ1): https://t.co/f8WuPKm3zZ

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

The area where many AP Computer Science A students continue to struggle within the multiple-choice section is object-oriented programming, so more focus and practice on that topic will increase the number of 3,4,5s in future years.

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

166 AP Computer Science A students, out of 66,000 worldwide, earned perfect scores of all 80/80 points possible on this year’s exam. We’ll notify them and their schools in early fall after score reporting and all late exams are scored.

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

The 2018 AP Computer Science A scores: 5: 24.7%; 4: 21.3%; 3: 21.7%; 2: 11.8%; 1: 20.5%. Very solid work here, the most frequent score a 5, and overall increases in scores of 3,4,5 compared to last year.

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

The AP Computer Science A reading has finished, while the AP Computer Science Principles reading has just begun. Educators have continued to enable greater access to both of the AP computer science courses this year – approx 55% growth in AP CSP and 7% growth in AP CSA.
