<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I'll be taking the Computer Science A AP Exam this May. I need to score a 5 in it. I was recommended the following books - </p>

<p>1-Barron's
2-Litvin's Be Prepared for the AP Computer Science Exam in Java</p>

<p>All I want to know if these books can yield me a 5. Also what is the cut-off % for a 5?</p>

<p>Any opinions? I already do coding. I just need to know if the practice Qs in this book are going to be like the ones in the exam…</p>

<p>You’ll be fine with those books, so long as you actually use them.</p>

<p>The curve varies each year, so there is no accurate answer. One website suggests the cut-off for a 5 is around ~75%.</p>

<p>I was just about to order these books, when I noticed that they are old publishings (09-10). As I’m just self studying, would that pose a problem?</p>
