AP-style classroom assessments

Five classroom parts · 70 questions

The five parts together use 57 standard single-select questions, five passage-based single-select questions and eight select-two questions. Topic weighting follows the current AP CSP multiple-choice ranges. These are separate assignments, rather than a timed exam simulation.

How to take an assessment

1. Your teacher chooses an AP-style practice template when creating a class assignment.
2. Open it in My classes. Enter your answer letters and reasoning, save your draft, then submit.
3. Your teacher reviews your responses and releases feedback. If returned for revision, revise and resubmit.

Answer keys remain in teacher guidance. These assessments do not automatically award ASCEND XP or predict an official AP score.

Create written-response rehearsal

A separate four-prompt assignment asks you to explain your own practice programme: purpose and function, an algorithm trace, an error-revealing test, and how data/procedural abstraction manages complexity. It is practice, rather than the actual Create performance task or the official annual written-response prompts.

The current exam combines a 70-question, 120-minute multiple-choice section (70% of the score) with the Create component (30%), including a 60-minute written-response section using the student’s own Personalised Project Reference. Follow the current official directions for actual Create work.
