AP Exam
This online course does not include the AP exam. If the student's local school does not coordinate AP exams, the student should call AP Central's customer service (1.888.255.5427, then 0) to obtain contact information for coordinators at nearby schools willing to coordinate exams for non-enrolled students. Students will then need to call those coordinators (by early March) to determine if their AP subject exam will be offered (not all coordinating schools offer all possible AP exams). Students should expect to pay all associated exam fees.
Requirements
Prerequisites
1. AP Computer Science A 2. Knowledge of mathmatics at the Algebra II level. A student in either AP Computer Science course should be comfortable with functions and the concepts found in the uses of functional notation, such as f(x) = x + 2 and f(x) = g(h(x)). 3. Some previous programming experience is also important and necessary for students to have before attempting this Computer Science AP A course. This course is equivalent to a first year university or college level course and the content is covered quickly. An introductory course in C++, Pascal, Visual Basic, Java or similar course would be sufficient. HTML is not considered a programming language and would not give the students enough of a background to be successful. 4. A basic understanding of networks. 5. Knowledge of the responsible use of computer systems, including system reliability, privacy, legal issues, intellectual property, and social and ethical ramifications of computer use. 6. Programming I and Programming II are prerequisites for this course.
