FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About AP CSA Tutoring

Get answers to common questions about AP Computer Science A prep

AP Computer Science A uses Java exclusively. The exam tests object-oriented programming concepts, data structures like arrays and ArrayLists, and algorithm design using Java syntax and conventions.

AP CSA covers primitive types, objects and classes, boolean expressions and conditionals, iteration, arrays, ArrayLists, 2D arrays, inheritance, and recursion. The exam has 40 multiple-choice questions and 4 free-response questions.

We practice with real released FRQs covering the four types: methods and control structures, classes, arrays/ArrayLists, and 2D arrays. I help students write clean, correct code, avoid common errors, and understand what graders look for.

Some schools recommend prior programming experience, but I can help beginners catch up. We'll build your Java fundamentals while working through AP course concepts at a pace that works for you.
