<p>I am in the class right now, and while the class itself is easy the AP test seems really tough; apparently it has the worst mean score out of all the sciences (including physics b&c, ap chem, and ap bio). Why is it whenever I read a list of easy APs, Environmental Science seems to top the list? Apparently only 10.8% of people get a 5...</p>
<p>Compared to other AP tests, it is very easy; many people have gotten a 5 with little more than one prep book. The reason such a small amount of people get a 5 is that this stereotype of it being “easy” allows some student to think that they can do no preparation at all, breeze in, and squeak out a 5. They dont realize that although it is easy, it is still an advanced placement test.</p>
<p>because the math involved is basic arithmetic</p>
<p>no offense to the envsci takers, but most people taking envsci are not as bright as the kids taking other ap classes/tests, thus ending up with a low test average. my school for example, the people taking envsci are the c students from chemistry. And not to mention a large portion of the course is nothing but common sense.</p>
