Thanks to Gerry Gillis and @keyhyers for kicking off @AdvanceKentucky's AP Calculus Master Series! If you have to be up early on a Saturday morning, you might as well do some calculus!
More good news: this yearβs AP Computer Science A students demonstrated slightly stronger mastery than last yearβs, so scores have risen, even as educators have expanded access to 19% more students than the prior school year.
The most challenging question on this yearβs AP Computer Science A exam was Q4 on 2D Array; 34% of students earned 0 of the 9 points possible: apcentral.collegeboard.org/mβ¦
AP Computer Science A students generally earned strongest scores in the free-response question on Q3 about Array / ArrayList; 31% earned 8-9 out of the 9 points possible.
18 students so far, out of ~96,000 worldwide, have earned all 80/80 points possible on this yearβs AP Computer Science A exam; weβll notify them and their schools in the fall when all late exams are scored.
This yearβs AP Computer Science A students scored extremely well on MC questions about Array, ArrayList, and 2D Array (Units 6-8), with 20% of students earning all or all but one point possible on these topics.
