Got a 5
Although this book had some programming errors, the content and tips provided were helpful. I would definitely recommend this to someone.

PERFECT prep for my son's AP test - worked better than a prep class!
We are extremely pleased with the Princeton Review series for AP tests - better than a prep class with up-to-the-minute practices tests (some were from this prior year) and digestible, easy to understand tips and tricks for taking the test. Definitely recommend this series for ALL AP tests. Good luck!

Do not buy — includes many errors that confuse students
I really wanted to like this book, but it turned out to be full of errors and inconsistencies.First, many of the sentences in the multiples choice and free response questions are incomplete, have improper punctuation, or generally don't make sense.Second (and worst of all), the mock tests that they provide are of poor quality. The multiple choice sections are fine, but the free response questions on the Mock Tests are poor and DO NOT follow the guidelines for questions set out by the college board. Some of the Mock Tests seem good and are likely taken from the college board website, but the ones they write are of poor quality. For example, the fourth question of the APCS A free response question should be about 2D arrays, but the 2nd mock test had a really simple one that did not include 2D arrays, and, this mock test didn't have scoring guidelines for the free response questions like the others did.I would steer clear of this book and buy the Barron's APCS A book and also use the online bank of past Free response questions for your studying.-Sophomore studying for APCS A test

Errors
So many errors in the java code examples. Also the answer key is wrong for various questions.Not good for someone who wants to learn, practice and then take the exam.I would not recommend this book to anyone.

Too many typos!
There are too many typos in the book. That is very confusing for student programmers. Not acceptable at all! I bet the author of the book have never run those programs printed in the book!

Many errors and dose not explain concepts very well
I taught Java in college level for many years, and recently picked this book to tutor high schoolers to prepare their AP classes. Many errors exist in example code or in exercise code. The description and examples used to explain concepts are not accurate from my perspective. Maybe good enough for a high school students to comprehend the concept, but too brief and not deep enough for college. I would be cautions using this book and it definitely needs to be combined with other more serious programming textbooks.

Too many errors
This book has good organization, it is easy to read and the explanations are easy to follow. However, there are too many errors, including various mistakes and typos in the exercises and the examples. A book on computer science needs to be precise, all these mistakes are unacceptable for such a book. Unfortunately, the book website does not contain any corrections which leads me to believe that the authors do not care too much.
