Solutions
for the above problem sets are on the ACSL web site www.acsl.org. There is also a complete set of questions
from a previous year on the web site.
The above includes a sample of a typical Contest #1 Programming
problem for our Intermediate Division.
The Senior Division program has the same subject matter but requires
a little more programming skill. The Junior
program again has the same subject matter but requires much less
programming skill. The short answer
question set above includes Intermediate Division questions from different
contests. Five categories are shown,
but a regular contest has just three different categories. The Senior and
Junior Divisions include these topics with different degrees of
difficulty. Students in all
divisions have 72-hours to submit their programming problem solution to
their teacher and would have 30-minutes to complete the 5 short answer
questions. Teachers are provided
test data and test solutions for grading the programming problem. One point is awarded for each answer that
matches the test solutions. Teachers
are also provided annotated solutions to the short answer questions. Again, one point is awarded for each
answer matching the provided solutions.
The Classroom Division problem set consists of 10 short answer
questions from the same topic set.
There is a 50-minute time limit. Upon registration teachers are sent
a copy of the ACSL Category Book CD that gives the rules for each category
and some additional sample questions and answers. Also on the web site is a page entitled
“How ACSL Works” that gives detailed instructions for administering the
contests. Contact ACSL at info@acsl.org.

ACSL DIVISIONS
The American Computer Science League consists of four divisions to
appeal to the varying computing abilities and interests of students.
One
registration fee allows all
students at a school to compete. The advisor reports the sum of the 3 or 5
best scores as the team score. We encourage schools to join more than one
division so that the material does not intimidate novice students, nor are
advanced students bored. All divisions cover similar material, but in
varying levels of detail and difficulty.
The Senior and Intermediate
divisions allow 5-person and 3-person teams. Teams compete for prizes and
invitations to the All-Star Contest against same-sized teams; students will
compete for individual awards independent of the team size. A school may
not register both a 5-person team and a 3-person team in the same division.
- The Senior Division is geared to those high school
students with experience programming computers, especially those taking
a Computer Science AP course. We suggest that schools do not register
for the Senior Division during their first year of ACSL participation.
- The Intermediate Division is geared to senior high
school students with little or no computer programming experience, and
to advanced junior high students.
- The Junior Division is geared to junior high and
middle school students with no previous experience programming
computers. No student beyond grade 9 may compete in the Junior
Division.
- The Classroom Division is open to students from all
grades. It consists of a selection of the non-programming problems
from the other three divisions. As its name implies, this division is
particularly well suited for use in the classroom.
