This new Java edition of the AP Computer Science manual presents four full-length AP Computer Science practice exams with questions answered and explained. Two are A exams, two are AB exams, and all four are modeled on the actual exam. A general subject review covers all topics tested on the exam, including Java language features; classes and objects; inheritance and polymorphism; program design and analysis; one- and two-dimensional arrays; recursion; linked lists; stacks, queues and priority queues; trees; collections; and sorting and searching. A final chapter describes the Marine Biology Simulation Case Study.

Best Guide Yet !,
By
This review is from: How to Prepare for the AP Computer Science Exam (Barron's AP Computer Science) (Paperback)
This AP Comp. Sci. Study guide is great for teachers and students alike because EVERY question has a clear description of the right answer AND why other answers might be likely, but are wrong. All of my students who got 4's or 5's on the AP exam LOVED this guide!!! (& you can't beat the price).

Barron's books really prepares for APCS A,

This review is from: How to Prepare for the AP Computer Science Exam (Barron's AP Computer Science) (Paperback)
This book is great. The students say that the questions in the book are generally harder than the actual test, but they cover the appropriate topics. It is very well organized. This is the only book that is needed for the AP A test.
Thanks Roselyn.

hard--but worth it,
This review is from: How to Prepare for the AP Computer Science Exam (Barron's AP Computer Science) (Paperback)
maria litvin - i'd recommend it to anyone who never learned java b4. this book definitely stresses over concept, but the problems are not enough and much easier than the test i took in may. as a result, i'd recommend u to buy this book, but a harder book to go along with it like ds-marketing or barron's.
princeton - this book is pretty alright. it has good information, but i don't think it's enough. the way the author writes is understandable, but again, problems are not enough. sometimes there are only 4 problems per chapter. also, the practice test at the end of the chapter are not enough. there's only 1 set for A and 1 set for AB. barron's - this book places emphasis on the problems. for example, in marine biology, there's at least 40 problems. don't buy this if u get bored easily because reading this book is like reading college textbooks. however, i can guarantee u that this book will raise ur score much quicker than any other book. however, this book is MUCH MUCH MUCH harder than the actual exam. i'd say that if u get a raw score of 50/80 on the practice test, u can probably get a 5. 5 steps - i borrowed this book from a friend about a week before the test. i feel like this book is almost exactly like the test. it has every type of problem, and gives excellent short summaries at the end of each chapter. it's quite understandable. b4 taking compsci ap, i did 5 books: maria litvin, barron, princeton, 5 steps to a 5, and ds-marketing. i'd say that if u have a pretty decent teacher, u'll probably only need 5 steps or barron's. otherwise, i'd recommend at least 2 of the books above. however, remember that ds-marketing DOES NOT have marine biology (which makes up about 20% of the exam)
