Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

This book is aimed at students reviewing for the AP Computer Science Exam. It would normally be used at the completion of an AP course. However, it contains a complete summary of all topics for both Level A and AB exams, and it can be used for self-study if accompanied by a suitable textbook.

The book provides a review of programming, algorithm analysis, and data structures. It can therefore be used as a supplement to first-year college courses where C++ is the programming language, and as a resource for teachers of high school and introductory college courses.

Each review chapter is followed by AP exam-style multiple-choice questions with detailed explanations of the answers.

There is a similarly thorough review of the Marine Biology Case Study.

There are four complete practice exams, two Level A and two Level AB. The exams follow the format of the AP exam, with multiple-choice and free-response sections. Detailed solutions with explanations are provided. There is no overlap of questions between the exams.
