Roselyn hits the nail on the head with this book. Her extensive experience with the AP style of programming and the AP subset really comes to the surface as you progress through this book.
Well written for use as a standalone book for programming students with experience(what I do) or as a useful review/reinforcement tool alongside another APCS book as topics are taught.
Do not hesitate to rely on this book. It is a fantastic resource. I've been teaching the APCS since 1998 as one of my 5 classes. I couldn't spend 95% of my time prepping for 5% of my students. This book will help you out a lot.

It's really good! There are tons of sample questions and the explanations are easy to understand.

This book is a great learning tool. It teaches the advanced data-structures for the ap test, and tests you to know all the things the test would ever require you to know. It is also great for studing very precise algorithms, which will save your [...] on the test, and will help you catch your simple mistakes. The way it is formated is in large chapter chunks. If your going to use this book prepare to sit down and study hard. If your lazy this book isn't for you, and perhaps the test isn't either.

The questions are much harder than the ap test's, espesialy the multiple choise, but so is almost any resource outside of college board. The biggest difference between the test and studying resources is ambiguity presenting the problems. This book has some but for the most part it's very precise.

If you are a programmer this book will continualy reinforce very usefull data structures, and the very simple very powerfull algorithms that are just so applicable. Kick [...] at the office.

Great practice problems. Also contains extra AP tests on CD. Recommended as a supplement to any CS AP textbook.

This review book is a great way to study for the AP Computer Science test. There are good practice test and material review sections. It really helped me achieve a better grade on the AP Computer Science test.

This product is mislabeled. The 2007-08 edition would contain both material from Java 1.5, and also the GridWorld Case Study. What I recieved contains the former, but not the latter. You are better off waiting until mid to late summer when the real deal will be available.
