What is APCS?
APCS is the abbreviation of Advanced Placement Computer Science, which refers to the "College Programming Preparatory Test". The testing model is based on the Advanced Placement (AP) curriculum of American universities. The test questions are formulated in cooperation with various universities, and the test questions are determined to have undergone reliability and validity tests to ensure the credibility of the test results.
This test consists of two subjects: " Programming Concept Questions " and " Programming Practice Questions ", and is conducted online in the computer classroom examination room.
Programming concept questions are multiple-choice questions, divided into two sections, and the test scores are combined, with a full score of 100 points; programming practice questions are single-section tests, scored by writing a complete program or sub-program, with a full score of 400 points. Both subjects are automatically scored and counted, and the scoring process does not involve subjective factors.
Programming concept questions
- Multiple-choice questions (including question groups) mainly test computational thinking, problem solving and programming concepts.
- Test types include: code tracing, code completion, code debugging, code performance analysis, and basic concepts understanding.
- If the question requires a program snippet, it will be asked in C language.
Programming Practice Questions
Mainly focus on writing complete programs or sub-programs. You can choose to write programs in C, C++, Java, or Python.
APCS exam time
APCS testing is held three times a year.
Testing is scheduled for January, June and October.
The actual date is subject to the announcement on the APCS official website .
You can apply for the required subjects, there is no limit on the number of times you can take the exam, and the best results will be selected. Therefore, if the test results of a subject are not as expected,
You can choose to register for a single subject again; it is recommended to prepare for the test in advance, and there is no need to wait until before applying to the school to register.
