<p>So, for those of you have taken this class, is background info of java required? Thanks!</p>
<p>Hi I took the class, got an A, and relieved a 5 on the AP exam. Let me tell you what I think should be the prerequisites. Anyway, you do not need a background on java to get an A (I didn’t) and you should not be expected to. AP Comp Sci is the equivalent of an Intro to Comp Sci class in college. Also, in my school you must have finished trig/algebra 2 with at least a B to be in the class. I think that is a fair prerequisite since you must be adept at math to survive this class. Overall, this class isn’t that hard of an AP, but there will definitely be thinking involved.</p>
