<p>I want to go into either CS or CE, and want to try to learn programming before college in order to see if I like it or not. However, my school doesn't offer AP Computer Science. Did anybody on here self study this? If so how difficult was it and which books would you recommend for it? Sorry if this was the wrong forum, this seemed like the best place to ask on CC.</p>
<p>I self-studied this and did just fine. Use Princeton Review or Barron’s, but for this test it’s important to get the newest version of the review book possible because of the case study. It wasn’t especially difficult but the fact that I had no knowledge of the case study was a bit of a killer. Just don’t make simple errors and it can be an easy 4-5.</p>
