<p>well theres only 1 and a half months till the AP exam and i truly am still befuddled. I don't learn a thing in class and Im to get a 5. Ive done a OOOOOLD barrons comp sci review book and gotten about 75 percent of the practice questions wrong after reading each section. How do i get dramatically better at programming? or do learn enough to get a 5 or a 4. What books do u recommend that will truly help me out?</p>
<p>The Barron's book is supposed to be the best AP CS A + AB book out there. It is indeed very clear and provides many examples.</p>
<p>The course itself is very easy and it may be the easiest AP course...</p>
<p>^ LOL at the username </p>
<p>out.println ("The barron's book looks good");</p>
<p>ah isn't there meant to be a System before the 'out' anotherasian1234?</p>
<p>No, the "system" is unnecessary if you declare a certain import. I believe it is: </p>
<p>import java.util.*;</p>
<p>But I'm probably wrong. (The imports are NOT on the A AP test, IIRC)</p>
<p>I got a 4 on this AP exam last year, my teacher was great. I have him this year for Computer Science AB. Here is his website, if you want you can read through his notes which are very helpful. Wyomissing</a> Area High School AP Java & AP Data Structures</p>
<p>Well there is no way. I did the same thing like you i didn't pay attention but still got a 4. Mabye just try some more tests . During the next break i would suggest you go chapter by chapter if you have time.

<p>I thought the test was stupidly easy. I walked in afraid that I would fail becuse my school has never had higher than a 3 (my teacher is a failure). I looked at the test and almost said *** out loud. I literally had 20 mins to sleep after each section.</p>
<p>As long as you understand the concepts of the test you should be fine. If you don't know any comp sci at all, I honestly don't think you will be able to do it. Its not really a test that you can cram for.</p>
