Review:

* Starred Review - "Students should develop the practice of reading the preface and introduction for each guide as they often describe changes in the test and new sections in the guide, such as the greater emphasis on two-dimensional arrays in the Computer Science A test. This guide has been updated for the upcoming May 2015 changes to that test. Barron's designates one of the practice exams as diagnostic to allow the student to concentrate on topics needing the most review. The "Barron's 5 Essentials" are the most important concepts that the student must know for the test."
