FRQ Types & Units

Each FRQ type tests specific skills taught in particular units. Here's why certain units appear for each question type:

This mapping reflects College Board's exam structure - each FRQ type tests specific skills that are taught in particular units.

Practice FRQ 1 of 11/1

1. Early-unit written response practice: three short tasks using a supplied example program. This adapts tracing, testing, and data reasoning from the written-response task family. It does not assess the full Create/PPR requirements for lists, iteration, or student-developed procedures. No personal project, code file, or video is required.

A school club wants a sign-in kiosk to display a greeting containing the visitor’s entered name. The following program is its prototype. INPUT reads the entered text, ← assigns a value to a named variable, + joins text, and DISPLAY shows text on the screen. The visitor enters Maya.

</>TEXT
name ← INPUT()  
message ← "Hello, " + name  
DISPLAY(message)
A.

Describe the sequence of actions the program performs and identify its displayed output for the supplied input.

B.

Propose a different name as test input and state the exact expected output. Explain how this test checks the kiosk’s stated design requirement.

C.

Suppose the first line is changed to name ← "Maya" so that it no longer reads input. Explain one limitation this change would create for visitors other than Maya and why the original input variable avoids that limitation.

Your Program Code

For the AP CSP Create Performance Task, you need to submit your program code along with your written responses. Generate sample code to practice with, or paste your own code here.

Free Response Question Practice

This practice environment simulates the AP AP Computer Science Principles Free Response Questions section. Here are some guidelines:

  • Read each question carefully before responding. Pay attention to command verbs like "identify," "explain," "analyze," or "evaluate."
  • Use the timer to practice time management. You can pause, restart, or hide the timer as needed.
  • Mark for Review if you want to come back to a question later.
  • Your responses are saved automatically as you type. You can also use the drawing tool for questions that require diagrams or graphs.
  • Use the toolbar for formatting options like bold, italic, subscript, and superscript.
  • Navigate between questions using the Previous and Next buttons at the bottom of the screen.

Tip: Answer all parts of each question. Partial credit is often available, so even if you are unsure, provide what you know.
