The FLVS course is probably the best AP Com Sci A course on the internet. Reviews have said it’s thorough and easy to get a 5 with the course, but it’s also not going to swamp you with homework. Most schools accept credit from FLVS. In my school, we use a different provider that uses the same exact material as FLVS—but it’s free. FLVS costs 800 dollars per course if you don’t live in Florida—my provider is free, but I’m not sure if it’s because I’m in state for the provider or what not.

AP CSP isn’t a very rigorous class. For those who are seriously interested in STEM, it is quite a joke to some people. AP CSA is a lot more in-depth and rigorous.
