<p>Hi,
I'm curious if anyone has done this before? I'm relatively proficient with computers and I have some basic java experience - although I don't remember much if it and none of it was hard stuff or OOP... </p>
<p>How much studying did you guys do to get a 5? What books? Good websites/Online notes?</p>
<p>Barron's and Litvin</p>
<p>Did you self study? And how good is PR? I've been flipping through it lately.</p>
<p><strong>b-u-m-p</strong></p>
<p>hey, I am self studying AP CS AB as well! I think I probably have about as much experience as you...I am okay in computers, have done some programming in Visual Basic and have started some Java, but never really OOP.</p>
<p>The messages at <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=108730%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=108730</a> and at <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=106280%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=106280</a> might help.</p>
<p>I've decided to use barrons, I think, to review...also I have some ebooks (learn java in 21 days and java data structures). I will probably get a textbook but I'm not sure what to get yet...I know there are some books (fundamentals of java, I think?) that are specifically oriented towards the AP exam.</p>
