The solutions to every released AP Computer Science A Exam FRQ can be found in Skylit Publishing by clicking the link above. You should use the solutions only when you are lost and only as a guide. Copying and Pasting will ensure that you have learned nothing from the solutions and negate any benefit from practicing FRQs. I highly advise you attempt to solve the problem using Mr. Rico's APCompSCI test taking strategies first, then look at the scoring guidelines to see how many points you could've gotten on the exam and finally look at the solution to see if you can understand where to go next.
