AP Comp Sci Self study

<p>Is it feasible to study for the AP Comp Sci test only using free online resources and Barron's review book? Or would I need to pay for an online course?</p>

<p>I’m interested in self-studying for AP Comp. Science too, and I’ve been using Princeton review for all of my AP classes ( Have taken 6) and I think they’re pretty good. So I guess i’m going with Princeton Review for Comp. Science.</p>

<p>It’s definitely possible. You’ll be fine as long as you understand everything in Barron’s and do a few past FRQs on CB’s website.</p>

<p>I’m in the same situation, CaptainFrost. I’ve never programmed a thing in my life. So, I’m wondering what would be a good…</p>

<ol>
<li>Textbook, preferably one that they would use in an AP Comp Sci A class. Would Big Java be a good book?</li>
<li>Online supplement</li>
</ol>

<p>Again, I have no programming experience, so I’m looking for in-depth as well as comprehensive guides. Thanks</p>

<p>I don’t know how in depth it is going to go, but this seems like it will be a good site for beginning to learn java. </p>

<p>[The</a> Java™ Tutorials](<a href=“JDK 20 Documentation - Home”>The Java™ Tutorials)</p>

<p>It’s by one of if not the main developer of java technology too, so it couldn’t hurt to start learning with.
If you need some basic programming experience, I found [Codecademy[/url</a>] to be a great place to start; unfortunately, though, it does not have java, but it does teach some essential basic programming skills/principles.</p>
