Reflection

While I scored worse on this MCQ than I have on other practices, I think that I am improving at answering questions. I now know all of the content, and so I am able to understand every vocabulary term and have at least a basic understanding of every topic.

Additionally, I used a new strategy with this MCQ, where I completed every vocabulary-based question first and the code-based questions after. This allowed me to finish a lot of questions very quickly and spend more time on the code questions.

To study for AP CSP, I completed the entire Khan Academy course to 100% to ensure I had a solid understanding of every topic.

To improve my knowledge, I will:

  • Review KA articles on commonly missed topics
  • Watch AP Daily Videos
  • Consult previous lessons from Period 5 and other periods
  • Learn more about the AP CSP Big Ideas:
    • Big Idea 1: Creative Development
      • Learn how to develop programs collaboratively
    • Big Idea 2: Data
      • How data is handled
      • How data can be used to problem solve
    • Big Idea 3: Algorithms and Programming
      • Learn some of the basics of programming and developing algorithms to use in CPT code
    • Big Idea 4: Computer Systems and Networks
      • Computing systems and networks (Internet, internal network)
      • Distributed and parallel computing
    • Big Idea 5: Impact of Computing
      • Societal, economic, and cultural effects
      • Legal and ethical responsibilities
      • Bias, access, and computing
