***OFFICIAL AP Environmental Science 2015 Thread***

Do one of the FRQ tend to gear towards something? Like, will it ever have “designing an experiment,” like biology does? Do I only have to know the labs for the MC or do I have to know them by heart for the FRQ? Is there any tips you can give for the DBQ because I’ve never done them (except in history – but is it really the same?)

I take administered FRQ prompts (I don’t trust the ones from Barron’s) and the ones that were administered always have a rubric on the point system for things mentioned in the essay so I always grade myself based on if I met the requirements for the essay. I just scored a 7/10, 10/10, 7/10, 8/10 and got 89/99 on the MC and got a 130/150 for a 5 on the 1998 practice exam.

I took both the 1998 Released Exam and also the Practice Exam the College Board released in 2008 (link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BziVV71JxezUMHhoQXp1V0ZjN1k/edit) and I found the 1998 exam to be significantly easier than the practice. Hoping that tomorrow’s exam will be more like 1998… haha

Isn’t 1998 a bit outdated or is the style still the same? I found 2008 so I think that’ll be a better representative?

The exam is generally the same. The only difference that I found was “what is the world’s current population”. I have taken 2008 before too and I didn’t see any differences!

yes 1998 was easy af lolllll

I got a 5 on 2008 too! :smiley:

^does that mean 2008 was easy af as well; in other words, the test tomorrow is easy af? :DDD

I though 2008 was pretty easy. I think that I got -15 compared to -11 on the 1998 one on the MC. I think that tomorrow’s test will be unprecedented but if you know chemicals and how things cycle around, you can BS any essay like. “Why do you think the water turned acidic?” “SULFURIC ACID IS A POLLUTANT THAT IS RELEASED WHEN FOSSIL FUELS ARE BURNT AND CAN CAUSE ACIDIFICATION” Literally CB’s rubric has 202034813 options for explanations on essays so even if you think it’s crap, if it makes theoretical sense, you’ll get the point.

I love how this thread was just resurrected from the dead

Pretty much ^^^^^

Haha true. For the questions with (A) (B) © (D), do each of the choices have to be once and only once, or can they be used repetitively / never?

you can use them once, not at all, or more than once @sjwon3789

What if they make the answer key all As for one section T_T
