I'm currently prepping for the AP Environmental Science Exam and I'd like to know: how many FRQs are included on the exam? Just trying to gauge what I should expect.
There are three Free Response Questions (FRQs) included on the AP Environmental Science Exam. The FRQ section accounts for 40% of your total exam score. These questions will require you to analyze and apply your understanding of environmental concepts and processes to real-world scenarios.
To prepare, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the types of FRQs you might encounter on the exam. Typically, the first question asks you to design an investigation related to a specific concept or theme. The second question often focuses on analyzing an environmental problem and proposing a solution, while the third question is usually a data-driven question that involves interpreting graphs or charts.
Practice answering past FRQs from previous years under timed conditions to get a feel for the questions and improve your time management skills. Good luck with your studying and preparation!
