What to Know Before Taking AP Computer Science Principles: Advice for Incoming AP Comp Sci Students

[@wydvictor]

Bro holy fuck this is the video I’ve been looking for

[@Baseball-wg8zh]

Taking this in my freshman year thank you for the video 😭

[@kellyshin6131]

How is it? I’m also planning to take it freshman year with no basic coding knowledge..

[@Baseball-wg8zh]

@@kellyshin6131 honestly it'll depend on your teacher but if you pay attention its easy. I have no coding knowledge and much of it is pretty easy. I'm blessed though with an easy teacher, we mostly just mess around in class a lot though. It's nothing too complex, a good chunk is common knowledge and some are just basic ideas of programming. Definitely the easiest AP Class, no experience needed.

@@Baseball-wg8zh Thank you for saying this! I was signed up and started freaking out cause I only have a little bit of coding knowledge 💀

I took computer programming 1 and learned to code python should I take this

Is it okay if i take this class in senior year

[@ronim2133]

Like he said, you don’t really need any prior knowledge on coding for this course, so yes you could take it any year in high school. If you’re interested in this, then I would say go for it!

@@ronim2133 thank you I was thinking of majoring in cs but i got stuck on the fact if should go straight into a instead of taking principles

I (Liza, the other person on this channel) am currently taking it my senior year. I don't see why it wouldn't be ok to take as a senior (of course it might depend on your school) but from what I know if you've taken a I'm not sure how new or exciting principles would be
