<p>I took the test last year, and I personally found the test one of the easier ones, especially on the free response portion (I almost ran out of time on the MC because it takes time to think through each question–practice helps with that though since you can learn to recognize question patterns). I knew no coding prior to taking the AP CompSci class at my school, but I was able to learn what I needed for the exam pretty easily by doing practice exercises in class and reading the Barron’s book pretty completely at home (make sure to read through that book). I ended up getting a 5. Good luck to you! :)</p>
