2020 PRACTICE EXAM (SAMPLE QUESTIONS) ABBREVIATED
EXAM Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 exam is
abbreviated. It consists of only two
questions; one 25 minutes in length and the other 15 minutes in length. SAMPLE
QUESTIONS AP has released a sample exam that they have called sample questions. This serves as a practice exam for
students. It helps us practice for
timing and helps us get a feeling for the difficulty of the exam. Click here to see the
sample questions. CAMPEAU’S
ATTEMPT Below is Mr. Campeau’s attempt to write the practice
exam strictly following the provided timelines. PRE-ATTEMPT
THOUGHTS A strategy that a test designer will use to minimize
cheating is to make the test long enough to take up all of your time. So I expect everybody to be time-challenged
during this exam. ATTEMPT

THOUGHTS The practice questions are easy enough; at least the
coding is easy. The challenge is all
in understanding the problem and dealing with the time constraints. But that is a big challenge! It is important that you are ready to work with both
an IDE and a DOC or with paper. Save
your work regularly (in case you close it accidentally.) |
