Your experience with the AP Comp Sci tests..

My school just got in the booklets from the 1999 tests, and we've been doing some of the problems in class. Kinda strange, some difficult, a few tricky ones. Sorry I'm tired right now, remind me of the thread in the morning and I'll try to give more details.
 
Got a 4 last yr, not that bad if you acutally do all the work in the APCS class. Get the book and do ALL the practice tests
 
you know how USELESS AP Comp Sci really is?

They make u learn non standard stuff that you'll never ever use in your life again.

let me see... #include <apvector.h>
#include <apmatrix.h>
#include <apstring.h>

those sounds fimilar?

these nonstandard codes are totally useless in real life, when you do programming in college your're not gonna use apvector to do arrays? The College Board really need to rethink this whole &quot;AP&quot; thing.
 
Aren't the AP classes basically the same thing, just that they do error checking to make sure some stupid students don't try and get values that aren't in defined matrix or array?
 
I agree atomic, but APs are a good way to skip out of entry-level programming classes in college. All the moron-proof AP classes are annoying (apstrings, apvectors, and having a teacher who is dumber than I am teaching this stuff).


Oh, and the kicker - the &quot;error checking&quot; in the AP classes ends the program immediately, whereas the visual C++ compiler would at least freeze the program and take me to the problematic line. Very annoying :|
