Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The new fourth edition of Barron’s Advanced Placement Computer Science test preparation manual has been updated with a new case study. This new GridWorld Case Study will be tested on the AP exam starting in May 2008. The manual presents four full-length AP practice exams, two each for Levels A and AB. Two of these exams are presented as diagnostic tests, with charts detailing the topics for each question. All four model tests have questions answered and explained. Prospective test takers will also find an extensive subject review, starting with a review of Java 5.0 and going on to cover all topics questioned in both the Level A and Level AB exams. There are new sections on storage of numbers and random numbers.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Very Good Book
It is a bit useless to review this book for it's value as an AP study guide, because the AP exams were two days ago, and next year there will be a major change to the content of the exam (No more APCS-AB).

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing Review for the AP CS A Exam!
I just took the AP Computer Science A exam this morning. Boy, was this book a huge help! Without this book, I don't think I would have been able to do nearly as well as I did on the exam. It hits all the points that need to be covered, and the questions after the chapters REALLY help to reinforce the overall concepts of the AP Java Subset. If you want a STELLAR grade, get this book!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - James Carter, the artist, book review.
The book, contents of which I was thoroughly familiar with, arrived in a timely fashion and in excellent condition.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Pretty ok review book
I use this book for some critical thinking questions for my students. This book as well as the Litvins includes review for the GridWorld case study.
