I totally took that exam and was totally not ready for it. I'm in IB, this "rigorous" high school program for anal retentives and we have an elective course called Computer Science. I'm in the first Java class they've had. We totally blew off the AP and concentrated on IB Exams. The AP just completely objectifies programming. I know I'm only a beginner, but programming is an art, is it not? The best part is the free-response where you compose your own programs and make the graders eyes roll, but some of it is pretty hokey, like more comments than programming, and using retarded object programming.
