So my AP Java Exam is in one week?

And I'm kind of nervous about it. I'm fairly decent in coding but I'm still very unsure about the whole thing, since this is my first AP as well.

Anyone else took an AP exam or better, AP Computer Science A (Java), any tips? pointers?

pointers?

Can't help you there man. All I can say is study like crazy. I feel your pain though. I have finals next week. :(

AP?F1_2004

I have my AP US history exam in a week. It should be a cakewalk like AP Human Geography was last year. Next year with AP Chemistry, AP European History, AP Language and Composition, and AP Psych/Bio/Stats (as this one isn't set yet) I'm kind of scared.

I didn't even know there was an AP Computer Science course though. My school doesn't offer that.

I'm not in an AP class but I am a Java programmer. Java itself is easy but understanding object oriented programming is the real difficulty.

You'll want to brush up on constructors and objects. Don't worry about the petty stuff...

btw

while(YouAreTakingTheTest(){

System.out.println("Good luck!");

}

A four year CS major does some programming but can move into more high level designing and managment. Programmers are a dime a dozen but a guy who can design software well is much more difficult to find and they make much more money.

I was wondering why it was looking wierd :P

I'm a bit occupied working on my SE class stuff. A wristwatch in Java, more complicated than you think.

Java SE? Standard Edition? Like, what you'd use to make Java desktop applications?jalexbrown

I develop in Eclipse 5.5.

I'm taking the US history test next Friday and the Chemistry one the Tuesday after that.rcignoni

AP Calculus AB for me next Wednesday.rockguy92

I'm taking mine next Wednesday too.

Hope I pass so I don't have to take math anymore.

Depends on teacher. Good teacher can really help.

I took it last year and got a 5. It's really easy as long as you have the basics of java down, and a practice test or two wouldn't hurt either. Just make sure you're familiar with Gridworld.

I've got AP Art History this year, and heard it's a huge pain :( I'm shooting for a 4. Don't want to hijack this thread but does anyone have any experience with it?

My advice: practice a lot. It definitely was hard for me. Then you have to go through this:

select client.clientno, nameclient, description from client full outer join order ord on client.clientno = ord.noclient full outer join orderline ol on ol.orderno = cmd.orderno full outer join product prod on prod.prodno = ol.prodno

Java doesn't have pointers, only referenced objects. No way Java can compare to the true amazingness of C++ pointers. You can literatly put mothod pointers in arrays. Of course, misuse of pointers would get you a lot of bugs/memory leaks.magicalclick

Oh and just a little something

public int mystery(int x) {

if(x==1) {

return 1;

} else {

return (mystery(x-1));

System.out.println("MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU");

}

And I'm kind of nervous about it. I'm fairly decent in coding but I'm still very unsure about the whole thing, since this is my first AP as well.

AP Java... that's interesting.

AP European History next Friday for me, my first AP as well.

the only AP classes i took were Language and Literature. i made a 3 on the Language test, and a 2 on the Lit one... sucks cause i was feelin' a 4 on the Lit one :P

AP Comp Sci was probably the most difficult AP exam I took in high school... but then again my teacher didn't exactly teach us anything either.

AP Us History and AP Euro were both pretty easy for me. If you get like half the multiple choice questions right and write moderately good essays, usually that is enough to get a 3.
