🎯 Essential AP Test-Taking Strategies

  • Predict Answer First: Before looking at options, predict what the code will do or output
  • Slash the Trash: Eliminate obviously wrong answers to increase probability of guessing correctly
  • Highlight Key Words: Look for "not," "except," "always," "never" — they change the entire question
  • Trace Code Carefully: Step through loops and conditionals line-by-line
  • Check Edge Cases: Test with empty arrays, null references, and boundary values
  • Avoid All/None of Above: These options are rarely correct on the AP exam
  • Make Options Parallel: If options differ in length or complexity, that might be a clue
