AP CSP Prep
College Board–aligned exam prep — Big Ideas, Create PT studio, and AP-style practice
Built by experienced IT instructors for the real AP CSP exam — Create PT practice, two practice tests, and a final so high schoolers can earn a score colleges respect.
For learners & program leaders
What you'll walk away with
High school students preparing for the AP Computer Science Principles exam — self-paced or with a cohort. Flexible schedule — 16 sessions over 8 weeks.
Note: Not an official College Board AP course. Kanam prepares you; you still register for and take the official exam (and submit Create PT) through your school / College Board.
- Master AP CSP Big Ideas: creative development, data, programming, systems & networks, and impact
- Trace College Board–style pseudocode — variables, conditionals, loops, lists, and procedures
- Practice Create Performance Task requirements (list, procedure, selection, iteration, PPR)
- Build exam stamina with two 30-question practice tests and a 40-question final
- Review with Big Idea score breakdowns and AP-style select-two items
- Walk into the official May exam more prepared — then pursue college credit where accepted
What’s included beyond the 16 lessons
Two timed practice tests (30 AP-style questions each) and a 40-question final exam — unlocked after the lessons. Includes select-two items and Big Idea score breakdowns. Prep simulations only — not official College Board exams or scores.
College credit & what families can save
AP CSP is designed as a first-semester intro college computing course for nonmajors. 1,200+ colleges publish credit or placement policies for qualifying scores — often 3–4 credit hours (policies vary; check College Board’s AP Credit Policy Search). When a college awards credit, families commonly avoid roughly $1,200–$3,000+ in tuition for that course at many public universities, and more at private schools. Official AP exam fee is separate (~$99 in the U.S.). Kanam prep does not itself award college credit.
