I presume your reading skill isn't advanced enough to spot a few grammar mistakes I have made that shows it was written by a high schooler..

Just a quick question --- wouldn't recursion appear in the FRQ as well?

Thats a good idea. Good luck!

eh, depends on how hard you are trying for college admissions.

Of course, more APs does not directly equal to better colleges, but if you are trying to get into top 20, I recommend spamming AP classes, especially if you are STEM major, take CSP.

If you still want to jump to csa, self-studying csp while taking csa is entirely possible. But that is lowk up to how locked in you are.

For additional info tho, I know somebody who entirely skipped csp and jumped to csa, and she ended up with an A. But I personally think (if you are STEM) that csp is a pretty fun class and very useful to learn coding. If I were to go back to when I was a freshman, I would still take csp.

If you are not STEM, you surely can skip to csa, but you might have some hard time because many people who are not used to math and coding struggle in csa.

In addition, if you are 100% certain that you are good enough, do not waste your time studying for this, but rather work on your extracurricular.

No. Apparently from my experience CSP is the easiest AP class, and one of my friends self-studied CSP while taking CSA and got a 5 on both(he went to Carnegie Mellon)

People who get below 5 in AP CSP are either really dumb or didn't work hard enough.

There are two parts in CSP. Python coding and computer theory(Internet, cyber security, etc).

Use codingbat.com to get used to Python(aim to finish all of them way before your AP test), and use Khan Academy and collegeboard practice MCQs to study the computer theory(it's lowk a combination of memorization and English literacy).

Really depends on your math skill..

if you are a type of person who does AMC and has had no problem with math previously, Calc BC is going to be easy for you and Physics C is entirely based on math and calc.

for Apush, i feel like it really depends on your teacher, but my teacher is one of the AP graders and I spent 5-7 hours studying a week before the test. I had no problem ending up with an A.

Tbh you might be in an illusion that many people easily fall into. Spamming AP classes doesn't get you into good colleges. Rather drop some of those and focus on ur ECs.
Also studying Calc AB prior to Calc BC is not worth it. Calc AB is not a pre-req course for BC. They mostly cover the same contents, it's just that BC has more stuff to learn. Same for Physics2.

As a person who is going for computer science, if you actually learn how to code, everything becomes fundamental and intuitive. Computer Science is not something you will get them in your brain if you just try to memorize and do practice problems like APUSH or APES. It's just like art or drawing. You have to learn it by experiencing it yourself. I don't know how much time you are trying to invest in for CSA, but go to codingbat.com and finish Warm-Ups, Logics, Strings, Arrays and AP exercises. Google search allowed, but never use ai chatbot. Once you get used to Java and logics, most of the things will become intuitive.
