Barron's AP Computer Science A, 7th Edition

This updated manual presents computer science test takers with

- Three AP practice tests for the Level A course, including a diagnostic test

- Charts detailing the topics for each test question

- All test questions answered and explained

A subject review covers static variables, the List interface, Integer. MAX_VALUE, and Integer. MIN_VALUE. The practice exams contain several new questions on two-dimensional arrays and reflect the new free-response style used on the 2012 AP exam. An optional book with CD-ROM presents two more model AP exams with answers, explanations, automatic scoring for multiple-choice questions, and a scoring chart.

Review 

* Starred Review - “Students should develop the practice of reading the preface and introduction for each guide as they often describe changes in the test and new sections in the guide, such as the greater emphasis on two-dimensional arrays in the Computer Science A test. This guide has been updated for the upcoming May 2015 changes to that test. Barron’s designates one of the practice exams as diagnostic to allow the student to concentrate on topics needing the most review. The “Barron’s 5 Essentials” are the most important concepts that the student must know for the test.”
