Computer Science Educators Asked by Marwi on June 19, 2021
Out of my own interest, I have been self-learning Java over the past few months.
I decided I should take this to a greater advantage, so I have been considering taking the OCP (Oracle Certified Professional) . I presume that the OCP is more useful than AP Computer Science A, which is my other option.
However, my concern is whether admission officers know anything about the OCP, compared to AP Computer Science A, which university admission officers are familiar with.
Therefore, would it be a bad decision (and waste of money) to take the OCP over AP Computer Science A? Should I take both?
First, I applaud your ambition!
The first OCP exam covers roughly what AP did until this most recent year, when the college board stripped out Interfaces. I would still suggest that they are mostly equivalent, but there are a few practical advantages to the AP Test:
One last thought for you: you do not have to take the course to register for the test, so you can self-study. If you wish to go this route, but your school won't allow you to register yourself for the exam without being enrolled in the course, you should still be able to sign up at a different location.
Good luck!
