Getting a 5 for AP Computer Science

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm taking the AP Computer Science class at my school next year, but the teacher is unexperienced and most, if not all, of his students do not get 5's on the AP exam (from what I've heard).</p>

<p>I have very minimal experience in computer science (namely, up to flow of control with Python), but am very good at math. </p>

<p>Is using the Barron's review book enough for a 5? Or will I have to use another, more thorough resource such as Stanford's CS106A (Programming Methodology) course to attain my goal?</p>

<p>I would gratefully appreciate additional advice if you have any.</p>
