All 5 Big Ideas Covered
11+ years teaching AP Computer Science Principles. 34.8% of my students score 5s compared to 9.6% nationally — that's 3.6x the national rate. 1,845+ tutoring hours with a 5.0 Wyzant rating. I built this kit for the same reason I teach: because every student who works the plan can earn that 5.
