* Clean Water Act
* Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (Superfund) (CERCLA)
* Emergency Planning & Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA)
* Endangered Species Act
* Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA)
* Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
* National Environmental Protection Act
* Oil Pollution Act of 1990
* Pollution Prevention Act
* Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
* Safe Drinking Water Act
* Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
* The Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996
* Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)</p>
<p>anyone have any ACTUAL RELEASED EXAMs???</p>
<p>I have 1998 MC with answers.</p>
<p>OMG Guys, I have to say this to vent my frustration, 5 Steps to a 5 is baaaaaaaad. It doesn’t even have a glossary so I can quickly review the vocabs!</p>
<p>Ok, people are saying that all you need is 60 points to get a 3, which is all I need/want. So does that mean that getting over 60/100 on the multiple choice after taking in the deductions get you a 3??? Because if it does, I should have nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>Step 1: Filters are used in order to pull out solid materials (pebbles, plastics, rocks, etc.)
Step 2: Bacteria are used to filter out any pollutants such as pesticides, phosphorous, nitrogen- basically any chemicals which aren’t supposed to be there.</p>
<p>If you’re getting a 60/100 on the MC you have a very decent chance of getting a 5 on the AP… assuming you get 2/3 of the 60 points for FRQ right as well.</p>

<p>We don’t need to know their order or their dates - just their importance. Clean Air Act regulated air emissions and stuff. CERCLA is an act that has a “superfund” for immediate action to cleaning up toxic/hazardous waste and other environmentally damaging things. We don’t need to know EPCRA. Endangered Species Act protects endangered species. FFDCA is basically like making sure food, drugs, and comestics don’t have toxic material in them. Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, Rondenticide (I DON’T ThINK WE NEED TO KNOW THIS) but it’s probably about making records about what kinds of these you can use and setting limits for their use. National Environmental Protection Act (umm) is about protecting the environment? Oil Pollution Act – you can’t dump oil in water bodies… like it’s about oil spills. Pollution Prevention… preventing pollution. RCRA is cradle-to-grave, tracking of pollution for point sources. Safe Drinking Water Act – make sure that public water is clean. SARA (not completely sure) but is just some additions to CERCLA to make it more applicable to more things. Food Quality Protection Act…. Ensures the safeness of food? TSCA im not sure but it’s about limiting the use and watching the disposal of toxic substances? Really there aren’t that many important ones except Safe Drinking, Clean Air, Clean Water, RCRA, and CERCLA.</p>
<p>mchammer312 has made my day!!</p>
<p>I think I’ve been stressing too much over the apes exam this year…</p>
<p>then how do so many people make 1s and 2s every year?</p>
<p>Anyone have any good study guides/cram packets/review sheets?!?!</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Any guesses on what the FRQs will be about this year!?</p>
<p>bjild10- most people that take this class/exam are not very smart at all… There is also a pretty high proportion of people with 4’s</p>
<p>What math do we actually need for the exam? PR says almost nothing about it and only gives simple math questions while the REA (Which I have come to HATE) has a TON of it.</p>
<p>Rule of 70.
Population equations
umm that’s all I can think of right now. But mostly, the math ones are for demography section of ES.
Also, the radioactive decay equation! It was on the 98 exam!
I don’t know this equation…Can anyone tell me?
EDIT: Does any one have a sample problem of the use of the rule of 70?</p>
<p>Just look at some of the free response questions on the collegeboard website. You don’t need to know much math</p>
<p>Good. I think PR asked a question or two using basic math but the REA asked:
“A Major caol fired electrical power plant produces 13000 MW-hr of electrical energy per day.
a.Assuming that 1.0 MW-hr corresponds to 3,400,000 BTUs, how many BTUs are prodcued by the plant each day?” and “ii. What weight of water, in pounds, is needed to absorb one day’s waste heat from the plant?”</p>
<p>Well wouldn’t you just multiply 13000 by 3400000 for (a)? I have no idea for ii.</p>
<p>I am really freaking out now.
I haven’t gotten to Alternative Energies which including all those FRQ-likely nuclear powers/solar powers/CFCs/blah blah blah and stuff yet. I am still stuck at Pollutions.
And I haven’t review for Psych. But I am not really having a nervous breakdown about it since I know it well. I just have to remember the ages corresponding to stages of developmental models. Those are pure memories of random numbers.</p>
<p>I’m freaking out too, kind of. Everyone’s saying how hard REA is compared to PR. Hopefully the practice tests in PR aren’t way easier than the real thing!</p>
