Product Description

Four full-length practice exams reflect the latest AP Computer Science exams in subject matter, length, and degree of difficulty. All come with answers explained. Two are level A exams and the remaining two are level AB exams. This manual also presents a subject review with more than 500 multiple-choice questions. It covers all AP computer science topics, including the new Java 5.0 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 separate chapter reviews the Marine Biology Simulation Case Study.

    Barron's finally got one right! 5
    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.

    Best AP CP review book5
    It's really good! There are tons of sample questions and the explanations are easy to understand.

    Great5
    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.
