MULTIPLE-CHOICE & FREE-RESPONSE QUESTIONS IN PREPARATION FOR THE AP COMPUTER SCIENCE EXAMINATION - 9TH ED.

We are pleased to announce the new 9th edition of MULTIPLE-CHOICE AND FREE-RESPONSE QUESTIONS IN PREPARATION FOR THE AP COMPUTER SCIENCE EXAMINATION.

The new 9th edition has been revised and updated to reflect the changes for the AP Computer Science Examination starting with May 2015. As usual, the book is divided into two sections. The first section has 17 focus chapters. Each chapter briefly summarizes the concepts, provides information about common pitfalls, and is followed by 12 review questions. The second section has 3 sample exams, each simulating the actual AP Computer Science Examination, with 40 multiple-choice and 4 free-response questions in each sample exam.

The 9th edition has a strong focus on the important area of Object Oriented Programming, which has 4 separate chapters of review with a total of 48 questions. The review concludes with a set of tricky questions, also known as snooker questions. A snooker question is a question that a student with good knowledge of a topic, nevertheless gets wrong. Therefore, we have devoted a large chapter for snooker questions. This new chapter covers 15 major topic areas that are tested on the AP Exam and provides two questions for each topic, to assist students with subtle trickiness in questions.

This edition has a total of 354 multiple-choice questions and 12 free-response questions, providing your students with a vast amount of varied questions to assist in preparing for the exam. Separate student Answer Keys for the multiple-choice questions accompany each class order.

The GridWorld Case Study was an integral part of the AP Computer Science curriculum and the previous 8th edition. The new 9th edition has removed the focus chapters on the GridWorld Case Study and also any Grid World Case Study questions from the three sample examinations. Both the multiple-choice questions and the freeresponse questions for the GridWorld Case Study have been replaced by new questions.

Also available for your students is the STUDENT SOLUTIONS MANUAL TO ACCOMPANY MULTIPLE-CHIOCE & FREE-RESPONSE QUESTIONS IN PREPARATION FOR THE AP COMPUTER SCIENCE EXAMINATION. It provides detailed explanations for each question in the book.
