Today is the AP National Exam for Computer Science!

I know I'm about to leave in 5 minutes for it, remember, don't be late!

Good luck to everyone taking it!

I'll be taking it this morning at 7:30! Leaving in about 10 minutes, and I'm getting rather nervous

Good luck everyone.

Best of luck to all of you taking this exam.
Clearly, the traffic lights of North America need better software people.
Really, I hope you youngsters do very well.

Randall Munroe would disagree.

That's cute -- though it seems he rather agrees with me with regard to the general condition of traffic control.

In any event, I was actually making reference to this thread...

Took the test, and wow, I thought it was a breeze, as did most people I talked to afterward.

FRQs are a JOKE Seriously I could have passed without even taking the class (Not an overstatement, I am serious)

I took the the test last year and slightly messed up on one of the free response. The problem asked me to write a class that had x requirements, but part a only asked for one of the requirement. I really didn't read all of part a (nor part b for that matter). So I end up writing page length code for part a, reading part b, realizing I already wrote that in part a, but needed it in the answer area for part b. Thus, the madness ends with lots of rewriting/crossing out.

Moral of the Story: Read all the questions before you do any coding, and then read them again.

I'm still looking for a pencil with a copy/paste function on it, no luck thus far....
