The required number of in-class hours is meant to ensure that students have access to the necessary technology to complete their performance tasks. You can work on the tasks outside of a classroom for as many hours as you deem necessary to complete your performance tasks and do your best work.  \nIf you return to school, teachers should ensure that you have access to technology to complete the tasks.  \nI am a second semester student, and I never signed up or paid for myAP Computer Science Principles Exam. What should I do?  \nUnfortunately, exam ordering is closed at this time.  \nWhat is the score weighting for the Create and Explore performance tasks now, since there’s no end-of-course exam administration in 2019-20?  \nThe scoring results from the Explore and Create performance tasks will be used to calculate a final score using the 1–5 scale. Each assessment will count for a certain percentage of the total AP score. For the  \n2019-20 exam administration, the Explore performance task counts for 40% of the total score, and the Create performance task counts for 60% of the total score.  \nI am a second semester student, and I developed the program for the Create performance task last month without getting feedback from my teacher. Can I use this program?  \nYes. You can use this program.  \nShould I review the 2019 or the 2020 scoring guidelines to understand how my work will be assessed?  \nWe haven’t made any changes to the 2019 scoring guidelines for the 2020 exam administration. The scoring guidelines for 2019 and 2020 are identical. Access the 2020 AP Computer Science Principles Scoring Guidelines.  \nWhen will scores be released?  \nDespite obstacles presented by the coronavirus pandemic, we’re working hard to adhere to our earlier commitment of July as the time students will be provided with their scores. Visit the AP Score Schedule site for updates.  \nAbstraction and Algorithm  \nWhat is considered an abstraction, and does abstraction need to have parameters?  \nThere are two types of abstraction in the AP CSP course: data abstraction and procedural abstraction. Refer to pages 66 and 67 intheAP CSP Course and Exam Description for more information on abstraction.  \nShould procedural abstraction be used more than once throughout the code?  \nRefer to pages 66 and 67 intheAP Computer Science Principles Course and Exam Description for more information on abstraction.  \nWhat is an algorithm? Do algorithms need logical AND mathematical components?  \nRefer to pages 22 through 25 intheAP Computer Science Principles Course and Exam Description for information on algorithms. Your algorithm must contain mathematical or logical concepts. The scoring guidelines state:  \n§ Algorithms are precise sequences of instructions for processes that can be executed by a computer and are implemented using programming languages. (EU 4.1)  \n§ Algorithms make use of sequencing, selection or iteration. (EK 4 .1. 1A)  \n§ Mathematical concepts include mathematical expressions using arithmetic operators and mathematical functions. (EK 5 .5.1. D)  \n§ Logical concepts include Boolean algebra and compound expressions. (EK 5.5.1E and 5.5.1F)  \n§ Iteration is the repetition of part of an algorithm until a condition is met or for a specified number of times.(EK 4.1.1D)  \n§ Selection uses a Boolean condition to determine which of two parts of an algorithm is used. (EK 4.1.1C)  \n§ Iteration is the repetition of part of an algorithm until a condition is met or for a specified number of times.(EK 4.1.1D)  \n§ Selection uses a Boolean condition to determine which of two parts of an","cbCaiay2P6FneGok","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiay2P6FneGok","pdf",613230,"English","# Exam Administration\n## Create and Explore Performance Tasks During School Closures\n## Exam Ordering and Enrollment Issues\n## Score Weighting and Scoring Guidelines\n## When Scores Are Released\n# Abstraction and Algorithm\n## What Is Abstraction and Must It Have Parameters?\n## Procedural Abstraction Usage\n## What Is an Algorithm and What Components Are Needed?\n## Are Sub-Algorithms Required?\n## Difference Between Procedural Abstraction and Algorithm","[{\"question\":\"How does College Board handle the required in-class hours for the Create and Explore performance tasks during school closures?\",\"answer\":\"If students are unable to be in school, College Board waives the required in-class hours for completing the Create and Explore performance tasks.
