How do I write AP CSA class design FRQs?

Short answer

Class design FRQs ask you to translate requirements into fields, constructors, methods, and state changes. Each public method should match the prompt contract exactly.

What to do next

Mark every noun that becomes a field and every verb that becomes a method or state change.

The common mistake

Adding extra behavior that seems useful but is not requested by the prompt.
