<p>I've never been a very big fan of the sciences, though I have pulled my weight on science courses. My AP Comp Sci class is killing me though. I mean, I'm managing a "B" and all but I still need to get to an A- by the end of the semester (which is in mid-January). I think my weakness is getting a grasp on the basics and keeping up with the new material that's built upon those foundations. </p>
<p>What resources can I use to get some help here? My teacher is indeed helpful but I can't afford to go see him for help every time I need it. Do those Barron's/Princeton Review books help? How about online resources?</p>
<p>I have the Barrons and I like it. The last PR for comp sci was written in for the 06-07 exam, but most of it is still valid and relevant. That being said, there are TONS of free Java tutorials online.</p>
<p>My school bought my comp sci class the Barron’s books and it’s a Godsend. My teacher knows her stuff and everything, but there’s nothing like their step by step explanations and the way you’re told exactly what you will and won’t need for the test.</p>
