How to Score 5/5 on the AP Computer Science Principles Exam in 2025 🚀

Описание: Want to score a perfect 5/5 on the AP Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) Exam in 2025? In this video, I’m sharing detailed strategies and tips that will help you excel in both the multiple-choice section and the Create Performance Task.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

1️⃣ Understand the Exam Format
Multiple-Choice Section (70% of the exam): The multiple-choice part has 70 questions, and you’ll have 120 minutes to complete it. Focus on time management and don’t get stuck on any one question for too long. The goal is to attempt every question, even if you have to guess on some. We’ll go over tips to help you finish in time and maximize your score.

Create Performance Task (30% of the exam): This part requires you to develop a program and demonstrate your ability to apply what you’ve learned. It’s worth a significant portion of your score, so let’s dive into how you can do well here.

2️⃣ How to Excel in the Create Performance Task
Showcase Core Program Features: Make sure your program has a list, uses iteration and selection, and includes a student-developed procedure with a call to it. These features should be essential to your program’s functionality, so focus on making them work smoothly.

Effective Video Demonstration: You need to submit a video demo of your program running. This is your chance to show how your program works, so make it clear and engaging. Avoid using screenshots or static images; only live demonstrations will count. The video should be under 1 minute, so make sure you highlight the most important parts of your program without rushing.

Write Clear, Detailed Responses: Your written responses are just as important as the program itself. Be specific when explaining how the code works, especially when discussing iteration (what it does in your program) and procedural abstraction (how lists and procedures help manage complexity). Avoid vague or general explanations—be as detailed as possible to show your understanding.

3️⃣ Recommended Resources
To help you prepare, I recommend using the following resources:

Khan Academy: Great for brushing up on key concepts and practice problems.
Code.org: Offers free resources and practice exercises to help you understand programming basics.
