Submit Your Work in the AP Digital Portfolio
Get Started
30% of your final AP Exam score in this course comes from your score on the Create Performance Task. For this task, you’ll develop a computer program, record a video of your program running, and write answers to prompts that ask you to analyze your work.
You’ll submit all three of these components to College Board through the AP Digital Portfolio. Be sure to submit them as final by no later than May 1, 2023 11:59 p.m. EDT so they can be scored.
