<p>I will be taking the computer science A AP exam this May...i see 2 really good books:</p>

<p>Baron's - <a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=0764121944&itm=2%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=0764121944&itm=2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Princeton Review - <a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=037576528X&itm=1%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=037576528X&itm=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Ive heard baron's is relaly good and so is princeton review, but then it says the Baron's was published in 2003, while the princeton review in 2006, so the PR might be more updated...but then if u look at the cover (zoom into image), the baron's has more practice tests.</p>

<p>so i dont know. somebody tell me.</p>

<p>I have PR, Barron's, Litvin (Be Prepared...), and 5 Steps to a 5. By far, Barron's is the best. PR is shallow in its explanations. Barron's has some mistakes in its practice tests though, so keep that in mind (I haven't taken the PR practice tests yet). Barron's also does a very good job of explaining the Marine Biology Case Study, which is on the multiple choice and free-response.</p>

<p>how do u know that baron's has mistakes in their practice tests? are you sure?</p>
