Question Types:
There are some “select two answers” questions and single-answer questions in the multiple-choice questions. These evaluate your application and understanding of important computer topics.
Topics Covered:
- Programming (concepts, algorithms, abstractions)
- Data and information (data manipulation, visualizations, patterns)
- The internet (security, protocols, data flow)
- Global impacts of computing (ethics, societal change)
Key Concepts
- Algorithm Analysis: Read pseudocode with ease and make predictions about how it will behave.
- Abstractions: Recognize how complex systems are made simpler by abstractions.
- Data Representation: Understand data compression, binary numbers, and other data-related concepts like bits.
- Cybersecurity: Understand internet protocols, security threats, and encryption.
Questions I got Wrong
I had no idea how the AP Exam formatted this question because it was the first one I received about the assignment of variables. When I looked at the arrow, I saw that the variable on the left was linked to the variable or data type on the right.
- Which of the following best describes one of the benefits of using an iterative and incremental process of program development? Correct Answer: It helps programmers identify errors as components are added to a working program. This is because Incrementally adding code segments to correct, working programs can help programmers identify new errors that are introduced.
Correct Answer: The mobile app release led to users tending to write shorter messages. I need to make sure I clearly read each option and pay attention to key words.
