 Rating:  - OkayThis book is okay, but as another reviewer said there is a new Java edition, and plus there is no test taking tips. I don't know about you, but all test-prep books need study tips. Rating:  - Good book, reusable, but not worth to buyI have read this book, and this seem like a very good book for Advanced Placement computer Science. It probably reviews everything, and has good practice tests. I would advise you to buy this book, but there is one big problem with this book. This book uses C++ instead of Java, the new language. If you have bought this book, and are waiting for this book to come to prepare, you are one of the most stupidest people in the world. But, if you have, not to worry. I read this book, and ...

The book provides a detailed and descriptive review of all the A Exam topics that you'll need to know. The Book is strong in all topics including the Case Study except for the chapter on Sorting and Searching. That topic will require further study to ...

I learned most of the A material and all of the AB material from this book. If you need to LEARN (and not just review), this is the best you can get. Remember, for many algorithms, you don't need to know the code, but you DO need to understand the concepts behind them. This book does just that. My only complaint is with the Microbiology Case Study (FISH), which you didn't get code for. A definite highlight was the ... Read More
