Taking AP Computer Science A this summer. Any tips?

Test Preparation AP Mathematics & Computer Science

<p>I'm currently a junior and will hopefully be enrolled for APCS to do during the summer through virtual school. Any tips? Is it fun? :x Thanks. :)</p>

<p>APCS is a watered down version of a CS1 course, so if you like programming the class will be fun. This means the exam does not test anything in graphics, input/output. I took the exam this month and it just tests random things.</p>

<p>For the exam you can just use a Java textbook and Barron’s to prep.</p>

<p>Thanks. :D</p>

<p>Write your own programs in Java.</p>

<p>Check out the class Programming Methodology from Stanford on iTunes U. It isn’t too hard of a class, good luck.</p>

<p>Draxula: Programming Methodology from Stanford is amazing prep for AP CS between that and the Barron’s book I got a 5 a few years back without at class. I would incourage you to also just look around on iTunes U because there are many useful classes and very interesting ones. I taught myself machine learning and computer vision from iTunes U and youtube. Also try to solve some project Euler problems. Great prep for solving difficult programming problems.

<p>Good luck! You’ll have a fun time. Just stay on top of your assignment, as it can be easy to get behind when you dont have a teacher there to tell you</p>

<p>I would also agree with recommending Barron’s Ap Comp.</p>
