These tests are presented with answers, explanations, automatic scoring for the multiple-choice questions, and a scoring chart.. Test takers will also find an extensive subject review including new sections on static variables, the List interface, Integer.MAX_VALUE, and Integer.MIN_VALUE. All three model tests have questions answered and explained. A section on two-dimensional arrays is included for the Level A exam. This best-selling review manual has been thoroughly updated to reflect the College Board's elimination of the Level AB course and the updated Level A syllabus. The first exam is a diagnostic test and contains charts detailing the topics for each question. The enclosed CD-ROM contains two additional full-length model AP exams for Level A. The new edition presents three full-length AP practice exams for the Level A course
helixcon said Not perfect, but the best AP Comp Sci review book I've seen. As an AP Computer Science teacher, I've looked through many of these review books. I use them to get question ideas for assessments, and I also recommend them to my students.The Barron's book is the most up-to-date one that I've come across. It covers all of the changes to the AP Comp Sci A exam since the AB class was dropped, including the List interfa. Better than my teacher! Timmy I love this book!It is extremely clear and shows you the specific code needed to accomplish tasks. What it does that most don't is the logic. This book explains the theory behind each concept. This is extremely important because the AP test doesn't only ask questions about what you have already done, it asks you to apply the concepts to things you haven. Peter T said Very Helpful. I used this book to prepare for the AP CS test, and it was very helpful. It contained useful, easy to understand information on all the topics on the AP test. The practice exams it contained were good preparation for the real test.
