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. Average Rating:
 Rating: - hard--but worth itmaria 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 ...

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. Rating: - If you can only buy one review book, buy this one.What I look for in a review book is LOTS of questions. This one has just that, and all with detailed answers. The style of questions is pretty close to the AP exam and it contains plenty of material for the AB exam. The Marine Biology section is very helpful. The only draw back might be that the book is a little large for a review book, and some of the questions are very hard. Rating:  - Contents and practice tests are too triviaTo use this book for review purpose, the contents are too detailed. But it also lacks of examples and exercises to serve as a textbook. The practice questions are very different from the actual exams. While it is a good idea to target the practice questions slightly harder than the actual exams, it loses the purpose if problems are simply tricky, trivia or unclear. Rating: - Great Practice testsI am giving this book 4 stars only becuase I thin the "review" is just reteaching you, and has no good tips for actually taking the test. The practice tests are really good, I think they are as hard as the real thing (based on the sample questions given by collegeboard), and also there is a grading scale, unlike it's preceder. It made me feel a lot better that I only has to get 70% right to get a 5 on the AB exam. All in all this is a great book, but I would advice you to get Litvin's instead. ... Read More
