-The first quarter exam will be in two parts: Free Response on Monday October 12, 2026 (45 min, curved to 100 points for the top score), and Multiple Choice/Short Answer on Tuesday October 13 (45 min, curved to 100 points for the top score).  Quarter exams are worth 20% of your grade. +The first quarter exam will be in two parts: Free Response on Monday October 12, 2026 (45 min, curved to 100 points for the top score), and Multiple Choice/Short Answer on Tuesday October 13 (45 min, curved to 100 points for the top score).  Quarter exams are worth 20% of your grade.

 The exam questions this time will be similar to the quizzes and tests that we have had. The Free Response questions in the first quarter are simpler than AP questions, as we have only have studied Units 1 and 2 of the AP CED(Course Exam Description). Some questions will show you segments of code, and you will be asked about what might be printed, or the value of a variable after the code is executed. You might be shown a method, and be asked how to call that method properly, or what it might print or return given certain parameters. The Multiple choice section might also include short answer questions, like what a string method might return (like ''"abcd".indexOf("c")''), or evaluate a boolean expression  (like ''!(a ||b)'' ), or how often a loop might iterate.  It is important to write code to prepare, as many questions require you to be able to find a fix syntax errors and errors in logic.   The exam questions this time will be similar to the quizzes and tests that we have had.
