How do I handle ArrayList questions on AP CSA?

Short answer

ArrayList questions usually test traversal, insertion, removal, replacement, and index shifts. Removal loops need special care because the list changes as you iterate.

What to do next

Trace one example with adjacent removals before trusting your loop.

The common mistake

Using a forward loop that skips an element after removal.
