Hi everyone! I've been studying for the AP Environmental Science exam and I was wondering if there's a study guide out there that you found really helpful. Any suggestions? I really want to nail this exam!
Hi there! I'm glad to hear that you're looking to prepare well for your AP Environmental Science exam. One study guide that has been popular and well-regarded among students is the "Barron's AP Environmental Science" (latest edition). It's comprehensive, with summaries of key concepts, practice tests, and in-depth explanations to help solidify your understanding.
Another alternative is "The Princeton Review's Cracking the AP Environmental Science Exam". This guide also provides concept overviews, practice questions, and test-taking strategies. Comparatively, it might be a bit easier to digest than the Barron's guide, as it focuses more on the major points you need to know to perform well on the exam.
You can also explore online resources like the College Board's official AP Environmental Science course and exam description as well as their past released exams for practice. Additionally, YouTube channels such as Bozeman Science and Crash Course can be helpful for visual learners.
Finally, don't forget to practice FRQs (Free Response Questions) as well, since they make up a significant portion of the exam. Make sure to get familiar with the rubric and practice timed responses to simulate the exam experience.
Ultimately, it's essential to choose a study guide that fits your learning style and needs. Good luck with your preparation and the exam!
