Why Enhanced Prep?
Many tutoring companies claim that they can help students increase their test scores, but very few can support those claims and almost none of them focus on a student's ultimate goal - getting into their dream school. Nowadays, it takes more than a single strong test score to get into college. Students have got to have the grades and the test scores and then some. At Enhanced Prep, we provide a truly customizable approach to tutoring, focusing on each student's specific needs. We match students with the right tutor who can help them study for a biology test one day and prep for their upcoming college entrance exam the next.

What Is AP Computer Science A?
AP Computer Science A is an introductory college-level course designed for high school students; it is equivalent to one semester of a computer science course in college. The course teaches students basic computer science concepts such as programming languages, coding, arithmetic-based and string algorithms, 1D and 2D arrays, and legal and ethical issues in computer programming. By the end of the course, students should know how to design a computer program. Students have the chance to earn college credit by taking the accompanying exam at the end of the school year; if they don’t earn college credit, the exam score may also be used to determine placement in college courses.
The AP Computer Science A Exam: What You Need to Know
The AP Computer Science A exam is given on paper and lasts for a total of 3 hours. There are 2 sections on the exam: multiple-choice and free response; each section is an hour and a half and is worth 50% of your exam score. The multiple-choice section has 40 questions and the free-response section has 4 questions. Exams are scored on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 meaning that you are extremely well qualified to earn college credit. If students elect to take the exam, they must notify their request to their school’s AP exam coordinator, though this varies by school. In order to take the exam, you’ll have to register and pay an exam fee, which is also done through your school’s AP coordinator. Calculators are not permitted on this AP Computer Science A exam.
