<p>How hard is the course? I have some programming background, but none in Java. At my school only two people got an A in the class last year. I might take it next year...what should I expect? Also, how hard is the actual AP exam?</p>
<p>the difficulty of an AP course depends ENTIRELY on the teacher. Many of them make the class more difficult just so they don't have a lot of kids taking it, even though most of the kids could do well on the exam.</p>
<p>AP Comp Sci is NOT a hard test, I only got up to 32 on the MC (I ran out of time) and couldn't do an entire free response question and still got a 5.</p>
<p>My class was really easy as well, it was the first time my school offered it so there were only 5 of us and we had an awesome time with the teacher, who was a cool guy.</p>
