[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How hard is AP Computer Science A for a student with zero coding experience? [/quote] My kid is in Com Sci A right now. He has coding experience and finds it to be pretty easy. However, his classmates/friends that have not coded before need my son's help to get through it. If you don't have coding experience, you should definitely take ComSci A (if you are considering CS as a career). It will not be a cake walk... but you need to start somewhere! That said, it's also not going to be as hard as AP Physics C or Calc BC. How well did your kid do in Geometry? This is a prereq for Com Sci A in our district. The reason is b/c Geometry requires you to do proofs --- which require STEP by STEP thinking. That's what coding is.... step by step logic. If your kid did o.k. in Geometry proofs, s/he will do o.k. in ComSci A.[/quote]
