<p>mitan: thanks for the info. I really wasn't sure if I should get a textbook because I've been getting different answers for the question, "Should I get a textbook or not?"</p>
<p>Anyway, I've found that AP classes really do depend on the teacher. CS wasn't a lot of work but I thought I was well-prepared for the AP test (and I'm not even that good with programming). But English, which I thought was an easy subject, turned out to be a little harder than I expected (major understatement).</p>
