I think this is fine. I took this test without taking the class. I was not a well established programmer. I just grinded the textbook. I hadn’t ever actually done anything in Java when I took the test. This class is many students’ first introduction to programming unlike other AP courses which are an advanced level of something they have already seen to various extents. Writing out the code by hand, which can involve nested loops and must be syntactically correct, is pretty hard. Especially after a very long test beforehand. To be honest, I don’t think I really understood what an API was until I was forced to use a provided one on the test. I was utterly burned out by the end of it. I thought it was a good class, test, and curriculum
