Computer Science A & AB: Case Studies

What's New:

The AP Computer Science Examinations include questions based on the AP Computer Science Marine Biology Case Study. Both the A and AB examinations will contain at least five multiple-choice questions and one free-response question covering material from the case study.

The case study will be more effective if integrated into the AP Computer Science curriculum throughout the school year. The Teacher's Manual that accompanies the case study contains suggestions about how to incorporate the case study into your syllabus.

To download these documents you must have the Acrobat Reader or Plug-in from Adobe. You may download a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader from the Adobe Web site. See the link under "See also." Once you've downloaded and installed your software, return to this page and click on the name of the document to get your copy of the Marine Biology Case Study Update and/or Marine Biology Teacher's Manual.
