AP Computer Science A AP Computer Science Principles
Curriculum is focused on object-oriented programming and problem solving
Curriculum is built around fundamentals of computing including problem solving, working with data, understanding the internet, cyber security, and programming
Java is the designated programming language Teachers choose the programming language(s)
Encourages skill development among students considering a career in computer science and other STEM fields
Encourages a broader participation in the study of computer science and other STEM fields
AP assessment experience• Multiple-choice and free-response questions
(written exam)
AP assessment experience:• Two performance tasks students complete
during the course to demonstrate the skills they have developed (digital artifacts)
• Multiple-choice questions (written exam)
