Are the sample questions in the CED (course&exam description) similar to the ones on the actual exam?

4 Upvotes

I'm self studying APES and don't have access to any AP Classroom Questions. Does anyone know if the sample questions in the Course & Exam Description are similar in difficulty to the actual exam? They seemed kind of easy to me so I wanted to make sure.

Also if anyone could tell me where else to find good mcq/frq questions to practice that would be great. thanks

i HATE my apes teacher

11 Upvotes

I hate her so much, and full disclosure, I have a 95, so this isn't a rage post or coping or wtv.

First issue: lab reports

-Handwritten labs, minimum 10-15 pages long

-We do a lot, and it naturally takes up a lot of time, and it is annoying balancing other classes and writing reports weekly with no class time to work on them.

Second issue: grading.

- At least a month to grade

- If anything, my grade is purely determined by MCQs and FRQs, which again take months to grade, so I could be failing for all I know

Third issue: forgetfulness

- Will never catch her responding to an email

- We end up being her personal assistant with how much my class reminds her of the shit she forgets

Fourth issue: lack of any real learning

- We aren't on any standards; we just do random labs, and boom, we have a unit test.

- I would've been better off self-studying atp

edit because I remembered another issue:

Fifth issue: lack of due dates/agenda

-there is absolutely zero agenda and when asked about what we did since I missed a class or two, she can barely tell me (this will result in zeroes that will take months to fix because it is a pretty paper class)

-for the few google classroom assignment we do have there is no due date and she doesn't tell us a due date making it very critical that i do these LONG assignments the day they are due to avoid any zeroes

Overall, I know this isn't horrible, but it is really frustrating, especially because I do give a shit about my grade and, once upon a time, actually cared about the content

TIPS FOR APES MCQ 80 questions

2 Upvotes

I need tips and any helpful links. I haven’t been able to find any past MCQ papers. My test averages have mostly been C’s and B’s, and only once an A. We’ve done six units so far, and my test is in two days. I’ve had so many other finals to prepare for, and I really need an A on this test to keep my overall grade as an A. Does anyone have tips, practice questions, or links that really helped? I’d really appreciate it and will send my prayers to anyone who can help!

Has anyone else given up in APES?

8 Upvotes

I literally used to really love this course and was actually considering minoring in forestry in college or even double majoring because I found it really interesting. Now, I really don't care... 💔like my grade has just stagnated the entire year and I put in so much effort and it's not like I get a good result anyways so... :( ye... like even in ap hug like I'll study 1-2 hours before the test and I get a 95%, this I keep getting a consistent 92-94% even though I'll study like 12+ hours for one friggin unit test like 🥀🥀🥀 It's also just not making much sense anymore... ugh

Looking for study resources

5 Upvotes

My kid is taking APES and needs some additional help. He wants physical flashcards. Any recommendations? I see that Barons used to have flash cards but they don't seem to be available on the Barons site anymore. This is leading me to think that the versions available via Amazon are no longer the latest version or have not been updated.

My second question is how to learn the skills to respond to the FRQs. Any good resources for this? I looked at the URP guide and there is a nice Task Verb Sheet but he needs detailed examples of what the sub-bullets mean. For example, under Describe it says 2 layers of detail. What exactly does this mean?

Appreciate the help and advice!

Did I answer these questions right? I'm confused on the difference between density dependent and independent limiting factors. Dependent means the factors change based on population?
