AP Environmental Science 2011

<p>What did you guys get for the math problems. I got 5 x 10^x for the volume question and 1 x 10^x for the 20 percent question. I also got 2.5 x 10^9 for another one</p>

<p>i did the same as you avalleyns!</p>

<p>lol and I don’t think that i got any of those answers @teehee123</p>

<p>I thought this test was EXTREMELY specific at times.</p>

<p>The different diseases… what does a snail disease have to do with the environment anyway??</p>

<p>Also, the one asking about a specific CLAUSE within an environmental law/act. Knowing every clause of every law concerning the environment along with all of the other stuff is absurd.</p>

<p>Guys I am kinda freaking out now about the math question. My friend said he got the same answers but I wanted to verify with yall. (heh, texas accent)</p>

<p>the snail disease was schistomiasis… that wasn’t too bad</p>

<p>but i agree about that law… I think i put something about cancer for that lol</p>

<p>^teehee123</p>

<p>Don’t freak out about that one question… it was very hard and it looks like a large majority of cc’ers were tripped up by it, let alone normal people.</p>

<p>On the math free response question did anyone else convert the height from mm to m?</p>

<p>pccal15 That is exactly what I used for the first i. I multiplied the area and height. for the ii. I multiplied the volume and density. and for the third one I divided it by 5 because it was 20 percent. </p>

<p>Oh and longhorn I did convert mm to m and I turned out to be 0.003 from the conversion</p>

<p>I took the test today, and it was pretty hard. People always say, “It’s the easiest AP Exam”, but it wasn’t. On the Beetle FR, i think i did really good. I went DOWN in the math section! i blanked out completely.
The MC was alright; but i was surprised with those disease questions. Oh, and that FR about the sugarcane, i was too broad, it was ridiculous.
Hoping for a 3 or 4, thinking i will get a 2 or 3. I know, its bad.</p>

<p>did anybody use related rates? dV/dt=A<em>dl/dt and dM/dt=D</em>dV/dt?</p>

<p>Oh sorry for asking, but I have another question, if anyone would be kind enough to answer it: for the question about what most directly affects the nitrogen cycle, what’d you get? I remember one of the answer choices was guano</p>

<p>I’m sincerely hoping the guano answer was wrong since it sounded preposterous to me. Don’t remember what I put though…sorry!</p>

<p>^^^Damn, there was a calculus question on APES today? I would have aced that *****, but I have to take the make-up.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure that you could have done the problem without calc. I did some pretty basic math and got answers. Of course, I don’t know how accurate they are, but I’m sure they wouldn’t give us something that required related rates.</p>

<p>@yanks, I used related rates w00t!! I’ve gotta take calc on wednesday so why not start thinking about it during APES?</p>

<p>Was the math problem really that hard?</p>

<p>Maybe I messed up. For all three parts it was simple multiplication.</p>

<p>I thought so too ^^ lol
except on the last part did it say that the coral lost 20 percent or was reduced to 20 percent? I’m beginning to second guess myself and I think I may have misread that part…</p>

<p>Overall I feel confident with this test. I think I got AT MOST 30 wrong… Ill probably end up getting 20 or so incorrect. As for the FRQ, I think I did pretty good… probably an average of an 8. Do you guys think this will net me a 5?</p>

<p>Guano one was wrong, it was mass fertilization of corn.</p>

<p>LOLLLLLLLLLLL seriously laughed my head off at the guy who used related rates. it is simple multiplication. v= a x h. mass = desnity x volume. LOLOLOLOLOL, i am pretty sure they will doc you for that related rates stuff.</p>
