Is Encryption still on the AP Exam?

CS Principles

Hi,

I’ve seen conflicting info about whether or not Encryption is still part of the curriculum for this course. Can anyone clarify? Thanks.

Hi @mquinn,

It is still in the Course and Exam Description published by the College Board (ctrl-F for the word in that document to find specific occurrences).

Nobody 100% knows what questions are going to be on the exam in a given year except for the exam writers, but if it’s in the CED, it’s fair game.

Code.org covers it in Unit 8 of their CS Principles curriculum.
