Dr. Wu has graded many practice AP CSP (AP Computer Science Principles) create tasks.
In this video, Dr. Wu goes over common mistakes that people make and how you can beat the AP CSP create task with simple tricks and score a perfect score!
0:00 Intro - and why it's not about how cool your code is
0:52 Point 1- Purpose of the program, describe video, input/output (3.a.i, 3.a.ii, 3.a.iii)
2:36 Point 2 - List, list being used, name of list, what does list do (3.b.i, 3.b.ii, 3.b.iii, 3.b.iv)
4:13 Point 3- List manages complexity (3.b.v)
6:58 Point 4 - Function, function call, function purpose (3.c.i, 3.c.ii, 3.c.iii
8:48 Point 5 - Describe your function so somebody else can recreate it. (3.c.iv)
10:20 Point 6 - Show 2 calls that take different paths, describe what is tested, result (3.d.i, 3.d.ii, 3.d.iii)
14:09 - Outro
Video is done assuming Python code, but concepts are transferrable to other languages.
Dr. Wu is not an official AP CSP grader (and has never been), so Dr. Wu does not speak for the AP board in any official capacity.
Correction: 0:59 The AP board has issued some new videos about this purpose that have clarified how one should answer the question about purpose. Please click my other video to see how this question should be answered: https://youtu.be/C-4T7l4pJFQ
