Good book for AP Env Science Self Study?

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I'm a freshman this year and am currently in Pre-AP Biology; as a sophomore I'll be in Pre-AP Physics and AP Chem. </p>

<p>I really want to try qualifying for the AP Siemens Award, meaning I have to get as many 5's on 7 different science AP exams as I can, one of which is AP Env Science, which my school doesn't offer. </p>

<p>I've gone onto the collegeboard website and looked at some sample questions, and they look really easy--mostly ecology and interpreting graphs. Does anyone know of some good books I can use to self study Env Sci? Thanks for any help.</p>

<p>The SmartyPants Guide is the best as of yet.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input. So it's good, even if I don't have a textbook, to help me score a 5?</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm pretty sure it'll get you a 5. PR is also good as I heard, but Smartypants have a good rep when it comesto APES.</p>

<p>You need more than smartypants to get a 5. The book is too small. Better get PR and Smartypants together.</p>

<p>So Princeton Review ES + SmartyPants ES - ES Textbook + Honors/AP Biology = 5 on AP Environmental Science test ?</p>

<p>Smartypants alone got a good number of students high scores on the AP Exam. Its very reader friendly as well. Its small, but it has all you need for the 5.</p>

<p>In that case, all I need is a firm background in biology, the PR book and the smartypants guide, and then I'm set to get a 5, right, without a thick textbook or whatever?</p>
