AP Computer Science: Principles
A new exam, titled Advanced Placement Computer Science: Principles is currently under development. It is designed not to be a replacement for AP Computer Science A, but rather as a parallel option that will focus on computational thinking and fluency. The project is being led by Prof. Owen Astrachan, Professor of the Practice of Computer Science at Duke University. Pilot materials are currently being created, with pilot studies planned to run from the end of 2010 through 2016.
