Create PT Survival Guide 2020 - 2021
Task Overview
About the Task: During the task you will write a program about a topic entirely of your choosing and then write written
responses explaining the purpose, functionality, data abstractions, and procedural abstractions you used. You will have at
least 12 class hours to complete the task, at the end of which you'll need to submit:
● A PDF of your program code
● A video of your program running
● Four written responses explaining different parts of your program
About this Guide: By completing the course you should already have the skills and knowledge necessary to complete
the task. While the Create Task should be a creative opportunity, you'll want to make sure you use your time wisely
and design your program with the task requirements in mind. To make sure you're able to do that, this guide
includes:
● Activities to highlight tricky parts of the task requirements
● Organizers and planning guides to help you think through ideas
● A recommended schedule for using your 12 hours
● Checklists to make sure your final submission meets all the requirements
College Board Resources: This guide is intended to be a companion to resources provided by the College Board, in
particular the task directions and scoring guidelines. Those documents are the final authority on the requirements of the
project. This guide, however, should help you understand the nuances of those documents and understand what certain
terms mean when designing a program in App Lab.
Getting in the Create PT Mindset: You've been preparing for this moment all year! Make lessons have challenged you to
independently decide how to program fully working apps. Unit projects have given you more and more freedom to design
projects that take multiple days to program. Throughout the year you've practiced writing written responses and have built
key skills in collaboration and debugging. The Create Task will challenge you to put all of these different pieces together.
You're ready for this moment because you've been putting in the practice!
