The College board has changed the test from Pascel, what this book talks about to C++, which is not covered in this book.

I second the post regarding its errors. This book gets at the core of the information, but there are definately serious in many of the programs that bring it down. Having problems in the program outlines is, in my opinion, absolutely intolerable. The only thing the authors would need to do is RUN the programs on a computer. It is easier to edit than any other AP test book example--reality can check. I don't know how much I trust the book in light of these easily fixable problems. It seems to reflect a geniune lack of diligence and prudence on part of the authors. But, seeing that this book, at least as of now, has monopoly on the market; litte room to reject this book appears.

I have noticed many errors in this book. If you are going to buy it, please read it carefully and try to find the errors. Afterall, wouldn't that be a good way to study for an AP test?

This book was helpful in reviewing for the AP test. It covers the major topics well and the sample tests are helpful. HOWEVER there are many many errors in this book in the code fragments etc. To use this book in a sense you must be smarter than it to find and not learn the errors the wrong way.
