Mr. B here with another patented (not really) Advanced Placement (AP) Exam article. Today we\u2019re talking AP Environmental Science. Like a cruise ship buffet, AP Environmental Science offers a little bit of everything: geology, chemistry, biology, and geography. It is a perfect AP course for students hoping to fulfill their future college\u2019s science\/lab requirement and move on to courses better suited to their interests.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_7693\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7693\" style=\"width: 353px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7693\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/magoosh-company-site\/wp-content\/uploads\/hs\/files\/2016\/08\/04125930\/River-Cruise-Lunch.gif\" alt=\"AP Environmental Science Exam -Magoosh\" width=\"353\" height=\"265\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7693\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In AP Environmental Science, be prepared to sample a little bit of everything.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Though not as math rigorous as <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/college-admissions\/ap-physics-exams\/\">AP Physics<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/college-admissions\/ap-calculus-ab-bc-exams\/\">AP Calculus<\/a>, the AP Environmental Science Exam is far from easy. Less than 8% of test takers earn a 5, making the exam one of the most difficult of all the APs.

Below are the big ideas and a summary of some of the topics. In no way is this list a detailed study guide, just a peek at what you are likely to throughout in the course. Also indicated are the percentages indicating how much each big idea is represented on the AP Exam.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Earth Systems and Resources (10-15%)\n<ol>\n<li>Basics of Geology<\/li>\n<li>Atmospheric and Water Science<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>The Living World (10-15%)\n<ol>\n<li>Ecosystems<\/li>\n<li>Biodiversity<\/li>\n<li>Natural Cycles<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Population (10-15%)\n<ol>\n<li>Basic Population Concepts<\/li>\n<li>Human Population and Its Impact<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Land and Water Use (10-15%)\n<ol>\n<li>Agriculture<\/li>\n<li>Other Land Use<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Energy Resources and Consumption (10-15%)\n<ol>\n<li>History of Energy Consumption<\/li>\n<li>Different Ways of Producing Electricity<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Pollution (25-30%)\n<ol>\n<li>Air\/Noise\/Water\/Solid Pollution<\/li>\n<li>Pollution\u2019s Impact on Human Health<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Global Change (10-15%)\n<ol>\n<li>Ozone Depletion<\/li>\n<li>Global Warming<\/li>\n<li>Dying off of Species<\/li>\n<li>Conservation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To be successful in AP Environmental Science and the exam, the College Board recommends that you take Biology and Chemistry before starting the course. Besides learning about many important concepts, the lab component in these courses will prepare you for the in-depth labs present in AP Environmental Science.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Successful Time Management\">\n<h2>Successful Time Management<\/h2>\n<p>In this section, I will break down the length of the AP Environmental Science Exam, and offer suggestions on how to make sure you successfully finish each section of the test. I highly recommend that you <strong>take multiple timed practice tests<\/strong> to become used to the tests\u2019 format, content, and pacing. For students with a <a href=\"https:\/\/ecl.collegeboard.org\/account\/login.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">College Board account<\/a>, a full-length test is available for you to take right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Section I: Multiple Choice (100 Questions, 90 Minutes, 60% of Exam Score)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First, take a look at my article on <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/act\/act-time-management\/\">ACT Time Management<\/a>. The same basic rules apply to the AP Environmental Science Exam&#8217;s multiple-choice section. You have exactly one minute and 54 seconds to answer each question. Fortunately for you, the AP Environmental Science Exam is graded the same way as the ACT. Only correct answers count. If you\u2019re stuck on a question and 54 seconds have passed, it\u2019s time to guess and move on.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I understand that it\u2019s impossible to exactly time 54 seconds, especially when you have more important things to do like answer questions. There are ways to get around this. In short, check how many questions you have answered at the end of nine minutes. If you\u2019ve answered 10 questions, you\u2019re on track. Any less than that and I\u2019d recommend more practice tests between now and test day to improve your time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Break (10 Minutes)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Break is an important time during any AP Exam. But for a three-hour test like the AP Environmental Science Exam, you\u2019re only at the halfway mark. Go to the bathroom, drink a little water, and don\u2019t forget to eat something. You\u2019re going to need some fuel to finish strong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Section II: Free Response (4 Questions, 90 Minutes, 40% of Exam Score) <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Saying that there are four questions in Section II is a bit misleading. First of all, here is the breakdown of the types of questions you\u2019ll see in Part II.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 data-set question<\/li>\n<li>1 document-based question<\/li>\n<li>2 synthesis and evaluation questions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you can see, within these four questions are three <strong>very different <\/strong>objectives. Also, each question is broken into <strong>three to four parts<\/strong>, or tasks. To better manage your time in this section (besides taking practice tests), try the following time management technique:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At the beginning of Section II, first count all the tasks presents in the four questions.<\/li>\n<li>Divide 90 (the number of minutes you have) by the total number of tasks.<\/li>\n<li>Your answer is the time you have for each task.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Though this process may use up one minute of your time, by figuring how much time you have per task, you can accurately keep on top of the clock.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Section II Pro-Tip<\/strong>: If you\u2019ve taken multiple timed practice tests, and are comfortable with time management, try to use the last 2-3 minutes to review what you wrote. Even if the correct answer is in your mind, the stress of the situation might cause you to leave out important information in your replies. If you have time to catch these mistakes, you can fix them.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Section I\">\n<h2>Test Content: Section I (Multiple Choice)<\/h2>\n<p>As the exam in its current form is three years old, the questions that appeared on previous years\u2019 exams are still a valid way to prepare for test day. If your AP Environmental Science teacher is worth his or her salt, you will see old exam questions on just about all of your unit tests.<\/p>\n<p>The multiple-choice questions will test your Environmental Science knowledge in many different ways. Some questions will be \u2018stand alone,\u2019 while others will be grouped together around a data set or chart. Like when taking the ACT, when you encounter a group of questions, take a moment to read what the questions are asking before analyzing the data set or chart.<\/p>\n<p>One last thing about time management: If you\u2019re comfortable with time management on other standardized tests, you should have little to no trouble with the AP Environmental Science Exam\u2019s multiple-choice sections. Even so, remember my previous advice: if necessary, guess and move on.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Section II\">\n<h2>Test Content: Section II (Free Response Questions)<\/h2>\n<p>Like some of the questions on the Multiple Choice section, to answer the Free Response questions, you need to analyze data in the form of text, charts, or graphs, or graphics.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say, for example, the four free response questions represent 15 tasks (parts). That means you have just over 7 minutes to complete each task. To write your best replies, consider trying the following strategy when you tackle a practice AP Environmental Science Exam:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1-2 minutes: Plan out your reply.\n<ul>\n<li>Time to read\/brainstorm. Write relevant information in the margins of your test booklet. If you discover important information in the graphic or paragraph, mark it now.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Write your reply.\n<ul>\n<li>Remember that your graders are not looking for the next great American novel. The only thing that matters is that you a) answer the question and b) follow the directions.\n<ul>\n<li>If you take multiple practice tests, the act of writing answers under pressure will become second nature, something that doesn\u2019t take up a lot of brain power compared to the questions themselves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"The End\">\n<h2>The End<\/h2>\n<p>AP Environmental Science is a course traditionally taken by 12<sup>th<\/sup> grade students. After the exam is over, you have graduation to look forward to. Yet, as you prepare for the transition to college, AP graders across the country are reading your replies and assessing your environmental science knowledge. In short&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The College Board will release AP Environmental Science scores in early July.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yep, one day in the middle of summer you\u2019ll get an email saying that your scores are ready on your College Board account. For those of you that earn a 5, there&#8217;s a chance that you earned some college credit. <\/p>\n<p>But there are some schools out there that award <strong>NO CREDIT<\/strong> for AP Environmental Science no matter how well you do. I know that sounds unfair, but it has a lot to do with the fact that AP Environmental Science is a survey of multiple scientific disciplines. With so many subjects involved in the course, it\u2019s tough for colleges to determine which (if any) of their courses equals it. So many colleges, especially the competitive private ones, have simply dropped AP Environmental Science from their list of accepted AP courses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My Recommendation: <\/strong>Before signing up for AP Environmental Science, check out the AP score policies of the colleges to which you are considering applying. I would hate for you to excel in this course and have to take it all over again during your freshmen year of college.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_7694\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7694\" style=\"width: 346px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7694\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/magoosh-company-site\/wp-content\/uploads\/hs\/files\/2016\/08\/04130421\/26625b_4f2087be392446f98d05bdb6a527dc27.gif\" alt=\"AP Environmental Science Exam -Magoosh\" width=\"346\" height=\"338\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7694\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Note #1: Earth not to scale.
