We just need to find one. Any ideas?
That's good to see you are actively working on a solution.

I'm surprised that students were simply "placed" into a AP course, much less a CS course. When I was in high school it was an elective, with a decent amount of prerequisites.

As for what text book to use? No idea. I don't remember what book we used when I took the test, that was in 2010.

Does your school not provide any textbook at all for the course?
