4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money!, May 11, 2004

By	Sumedh (Berkeley, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I feel as though this book really helped me for the AP Comp Sci A test. It really does an excellent job of reviewing the basic fundamentals and all the other Java concepts that are covered in the curriculum. However I wouldn't count on this book to teach you anything new you haven't learned already. If you have already covered the concepts in class but need to review them one more time before taking the exam then this book is perfect for you. If you only want to get a 3 or 4 then this book can help you acheive that. However if your counting on a 5, I think you should at least check out the practice tests in some of the other tougher review books such as Barrons. I felt some of the AP test questions were a little bit tougher than the ones I encountered while using this book. But overall, this book really covers pretty much everything you need to know for the exam and nothing more. If that floats your boat then I think you should get this book

5.0 out of 5 stars Indespensible, May 4, 2005

By	J. Rumion (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you don't know a thing about java, and your like me who only knew C before, AND you need to cram some java concepts into your head real fast, THIS is THE book. I can't believe people are calling this a waste of paper, this book as a review covered what most books take many chapters to teach in about 10 pages (variable types, operators, structures, etc). Don't buy this to learn java, but if you dont want to spend a lot of money on another book just to learn java from the start because you know the concepts already, this book is the right thing for you. I reccomend (to those who know C or other languages) that you read this book, as it will not only give you a quick translation for other programming languages, but it will also help refresh what you've forgotten or never knew to begin with.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother with this one., September 18, 2004

By	Raymond Campbell (Glastonbury, CT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Last year was my first year teaching AP Computer Science. I purchased a package that included this title for all of my students. The idea that the author had participated in writing the exam gave me the impression the prep questions in this book might have something to do with what the actual exam would be like - I was wrong. The book was a total disappointment. Several students purchased other books that were passed around before the exam. Everyone agreed that this book was by far the least helpful and was in fact misleading. Don't waste your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars A total Rip Off
I thought that the name Princeton Review would guarantee a comprehensive and thorough effort. All other AP Computer Science review books are far superior to this waste of paper.
