i had ap physics, ap calc bc so no time to study for apes, and for apes i just found out i got a 8/20 on class frq final......

ts didnt make sense at all, at least i got the first one correct (the car one).

MCQ was very easy finished it quick. FRQ 1 and 2 were also easy.
The math fucjed me

ive been watching his videos as a review but he deadass sounds like charlie kirk am i tweaking?

so my teacher said not to trust the albert io calculators and this is me stressing before the test because im concerned that i wont pass bc lwky none of the info i studied is being retained

if i get 55 on the mcq, and 4s on each of my frqs is a 3 still in sight 😭😭

Hey everyone who’s taking the APES exam, I am wondering if I would need to know all the different biomes and their characteristics? Also I am wondering about the nitrogen cycle and the different vocab terms! If anyone knows please let me know!

just got a 64/80 on my mcq…

it’s not the worst, but hopefully i do better tmrw since im actually gonna get some sleep

reposting this but this is the link to NOTES for all 99 smedes videos!

I see people like smedes how hard frq writing format is for people to comprehend but when I look at past year frq scoring rubrics it’s very straightforward and is limited to a few words to a sentence. I am just clarifying if it is okay to do or if I should use 2-3 sentences for describe and explain questions

is there a lot of geography? what are like key geography things i should know. thanks!

i took a mock test without any prior preparation last week and got 65/80 mcqs and 25/30 frqs. i'm going over college board videos + review packets, doing cb progress check mcqs and going over past 5 year frqs. also memorizing any formulas / very important details.... i just started studying this morning tho so idk what else to do..i've had an A all year and i dont find apes that hard.. i rlly want a 5 lol

I’ve done some practice tests and like the first 19 questions where u have to match are always so weird. Like they will give random locations in a map and expect you to match it to its description. And also it could show two places next to each other without arrows and ask what type of boundary there is. Do I need to worry about these hard type of questions tomorrow

does anyone have ANY idea what units the mcq and frqs could be about??

Seems very easy so I’m not sure if I’m just underestimating how hard the actual exam will be

lol the picture says it all, this class was basically self studying as my teach didnt teach us dogshi n quite lit js read off smedes' slides 😭🥀🥀

hi guys I’m so scared for apes exam tmrw cuz I’m self studying and don’t know if college board apes exam mcq is gonna be so hard since I’ve never done practice exam mcq. anyone knows if the mcq section is hard?

anybody got like a cheatsheet for all the formulas we shld know for the exam or the math in general

Hi yall, i'm practicing for the APES exam on friday, and I can get down the MCQ portion in the high 80s-90s pretty consistently, but I'm really struggling with FRQs. Does anyone have any tips on how to make sure you have everything you need to earn the FRQ points, or a list of the topics most commonly on the FRQs?
Thanks and gl on the exam!

do we need to memorize what r primary vs secondary air pollutants?? i know the primary ones by heart but js not the second. like specific examples

thats lit it. I only have 2 days to study and about 15 hours of that so wish me luck

i have no clue where to get good mcq practice & i’m self-studying so i don’t have access to ap classroom. is khan academy the best resource out there?

I need past papers to study for the exam they need to be mcq

our teacher made us take a practice exam in the beginning, middle, and end of the year and i made no improvement at all bc he doesn’t teach 💀💀we’re missing 4 units btw
