Hi all! I was wondering if AP Comp Sci A was known as a “hard” class at your school. I am currently studying Java right now in preparation for the course, and I am a little nervous about going into this class. Any advice in terms of sites that are good in teaching the basics for java would also be appreciated!
Kinda late posting this but I just made an account to answer you
- The class is somewhat hard at my school (daily homework and coding labs, tests differ from teacher to teacher and mine were very hard for the average programming high school student)
- I have a driving passion for computer science so my opinion will be different than that someone not looking for a career, and who has no previous experience coding.
- Take this class so you go into college knowing if comp sci is for you. If you struggle here and don’t enjoy it, you sure won’t be successful in college or the industry.
- Useful study places: here are my top 3 websites
- Books: Barron’s guide to AP comp sci A (get latest version)
Goodluck!! Hope you decided to enroll in comp sci A! Any questions please message me.

At my school, AP CSA is super chill
