Unit 1 Midterm
Every unit in the CodeHS AP CSA course (Cortado) includes a midterm and a final exam. Both are written to match the style and difficulty of the real AP exam.
The Unit 1 midterm covers lessons 1.1 through 1.8, which many classes are getting close to. While the midterm is listed at the end of the unit (to preserve the lesson numbering), you should assign the exam activities once students finish lesson 1.8, instead of waiting until they reach the end of Unit 1.
College Board Deadlines
There are two important deadlines coming up from the College Board. Students must order their exams by November 13, 2026 to avoid the late registration fee, unless you are teaching the class in the second semester. Be sure to check with your school's AP Coordinator so that students can register on time.
The deadline to submit your course syllabus to the College Board is January 31, 2027, and the earlier you submit the better! This is especially important for new AP CSA teachers since you may not have access to resources such as AP Classroom until after your audit is completed.
If you are using one of our courses, you can select the course from the endorsed provider list. By selecting the CodeHS course, it will automatically use the CodeHS approved syllabus for that course.
Digital AP Exam
Like last year, students will complete the multiple choice and free-response questions in the Bluebook app. All of the practice exams and free response practice questions in CodeHS are meant to be completed digitally, so students will have plenty of practice typing their responses! Our FRQ Center has the option to assign text-only (similar to the AP exam) or runnable activities of the FRQs from past exams, depending on your interest.
Additionally, the College Board has a few resources to help prepare for this transition:
