<p>first, let me say that i bought the prep book because the AP CS A exam has nothing to do with CS; it’s mostly about java and some quirks that go along with it…</p>
<p>The hard course work wasn’t really my question. I’m wondering, do students who skip 2 (!) intro classes in a subject actually perform well if that’s their major? Or should they play things safely and start from the beginning in whatever their major is? I can’t imagine skipping the intermediate/advanced programming class even though I have a lot of programming experience.</p>
