Be Prepared is a comprehensive test preparation book for Advanced Placement* examination in computer science. It includes a thorough review section that describes exam format and requirements, C++ subset used in the exams, and exam topics for both A- and AB-level exams. It also includes over fifty multiple-choice questions with complete solutions that show effective strategies and shortcuts. The second part of the book contains four complete practice exams with answers and solutions (two A and two AB exams, with no overlap). The companion web site for this book contains annotated solutions to free-response questions from past exams, review and practice questions for this year's required Case Study, and links to the College Board's materials and other resources on the web. The book is written by Maria Litvin, a veteran computer science teacher, College Board consultant, leader of workshops, and the author of a popular textbook for high school AP computer science courses. Four teachers from two leading schools with nationally-recognized computer science programs contributed questions for practice exams.
