[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry if I'm late to reply-

Hi, (magnet) junior at Blair here. I assume you're talking about the jump to ADSA freshman year. I myself took this class, and then also chose to take the AP CSA exam the same year, without taking ADSB.

Difficulty wise, the class was mid-tier for me. It was harder than the normal foundations class, but no where near the difficulty of any of the magnet math classes. Mr. Sahu is a great teacher, but from what I remember, he wasn't very flexible with retakes or resubmissions, nor were his tests very easy.

The work load was fine. The take home projects were easy- just the tests that required some studying (in particular I hated memorizing all of the different sorts...). For my year, no selection test to get in the class, but I did have to fill out an "application" through a google form, which had to be approved by someone (I think Ms. Burkhauser).

Lastly, I don't recommend self studying the rest of the material to take AP CSA freshman year. Most people will wait until their sophmore year to take the AP test, after they've finished ADSB. I made this mistake and did not feel well prepared for the exam.

Thank you! This is very helpful. Is computer science your main focus in the magnet?[/quote]
