Hi, I got a 31/40 on the 7th edition Barron’s AP Comp Sci book. How does it compare to the actual exam? Is that enough to get a 5? (I’m usually better at the Free Response questions).
You are in very good shape!
I just did the 2015 released exam and got a 37-38/40 on the MC’s, but I have also heard that the 2015 one was pretty easy. How does it compare to the Barron’s practice exam? Thank you.
Barrons is harder, but it is wonderful preparation. When I walked into the AP exam, it was a piece of cake. You’re in good shape.
Barron’s is significantly harder than the actual exam.
It’s definitely a lot harder, but it gives you good practice for the MC exam. However, for the FRQ section if you generally code a lot then you should be fine for the test.
