AP COMPUTER SCIENCE PRINCIPLES SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
The AP Computer Science Principles assessment consists of two parts:
- Through-course assessment comprised of one Create Performance Task that students complete in class, with 12 hours of in-class instruction time.
- End-of-Course Exam with 70 multiple-choice questions that will be administered in May.
30% of your final AP Exam score in this course comes from your score on the Create performance task. For this task, you’ll develop a computer program, record a video of your program running, and develop a Personalized Project Reference containing screen captures of your list and procedures.
