Reminder: May 2, AP CSP performance task deadline!
Posted: Tue, 04/30/2019 - 11:26
Hello,
The final deadline to submit performance tasks, indicate exam intent and enter the AP number for AP CSP is fast approaching – May 2, 11:59 p.m. ET. If your students haven't done so already, it is highly recommended that they submit before the 2nd as in the past the Digital Portfolio website crashes the day the PTs are due because of many last minute submissions. For support in having students review their Explore PTs, see the infographic in the link below:
