I'm planning on taking the AP Computer Science AB test this May. I haven't taken the class, but I think I know enough programming to do well regardless. I have a book (5 steps to a 5, McGraw-Hill). Any tips from people who have taken the exam or the class?

Get a copy of the case study associated with the test. When I took the test, it was the last year for the BigInt case study. AFter that they used an aquarium example for 2 years, and after that I was too removed from high school to follow it.

The case study is worth about 1 poitn (5 vs 4, 4 vs 3 etc) but worth looking into.

(This was 6 years ago, the information might not be relevant anymore).

Yup, it's still the aquarium thing. Thanks for the tip.

I did it.. mm almost 6 years ago, the aquarium thing is pretty easy. Make sure you know how to implement classes, recursive functions, big o, binary trees. Nothing too complicated as long as you are familiar with those methods
