*** Official AP Computer Science A Thread 2014-2015 ***

@snaketail9 Thank you for the encouragement! I will most definitely take your advice for the future!

5! So relieved because I’m pretty sure I missed at least a few MC (those algorithms haha).

Also, will a minimum AP score for that course receive the same college credit as a 5? For example, Rice University’s minimum score for AP Computer Science A to receive college credit is a 4.I want to know will a student who receives a 4 get the same college credit as a student who earns a 5, or does it differ?

I got a 5! :smiley: Very happy.

it depends on the college. In the case of Rice, a 4 garners the same credit as a 5.

I received and expected a 5; didn’t really need to study because computer science is basically my job, so I’m dealing with it everyday. Ended up having to take the late exam because I was at the BPA national conference for computer science related competitions. Congrats to everyone!

Got a 5!

I have a question with the AP CS 2014 free response question 4 (https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/apcourse/ap-computer-science-a/exam-practice).

My code for getPrice() is
return drink.getPrice() + sandwich.getPrice();

Since the one of the highest price is always going to be sandwich, so it must be added to the price. When comparing Sala and Drink, I found that if Drink is “Orange Soda”, the lowest price and the second lowest/highest price is going to be 1.25 anyway since Salad worth 1.25 anyhow. When Drink is “Cappuccino”, the drink it the most expensive one, and the Sandwich is second expensive.
So, no matter what the selections are, the final price is going to be the sum of prices of sandwich and drink. I found a bunch of 5 or 6 line codes for the price calculating. Will CB count my answer correct?
