All free-response questions assess Computational Thinking Practice 2: Develop Code, with the following focus: 

• Question 1: Methods and Control Structures—Students will write 2 methods or 1 constructor and 1 method of a given class based on provided specifications and examples. In Part A the method or constructor will require students to write iterative or conditional statements, or both, as well as statements that call methods in the specified class. In Part B the method or constructor will require calling String methods.

• Question 2: Class Design—Students will be instructed to design and implement a class based on provided specifications and examples. A second class might also be included. Students will be provided with a scenario and specifications in the form of a table demonstrating ways to interact with the class and the results. The class must include a class header, instance variables, a constructor, a method, and implementation of the constructor and required method.

• Question 3: Data Analysis with ArrayList—Students will be provided with a scenario and its associated class(es). Students will write 1 method of a given class based on provided specifications and examples. The method requires students to use, analyze, and manipulate data in an ArrayList structure.

• Question 4: 2D Array—Students will be provided with a scenario and its associated class(es). Students will write 1 method of a given class based on provided specifications and examples. The method requires students to use, analyze, and manipulate data in a 2D array structure.
