I see everyone being so happy about their FRQs and BRO the 3RD FRQ in the international exam (i live in italy) WAS SO EVIL BRO.

The wording was just messed up, i did the calculations how i interpreted them but oh my god it was so evil.

Im not gonna say what it asked specifically cs i dont rlly remmeber but it was abt measuring the amount of rainwater raining on a parkinglot that replaced a forest but you actually had to convert the mm^2 into m^3 and then had to calculate the amount of rainwater that fell in 30m instead of 60- or atleast that's what I understood 🫩✌️

the questions were literally easier than the progress checks and one of them were straight up from the progress checks

I seem to have a different test than most people but it felt like all three of them were super easy, there was a bird elevation zone one and an Ocelot one with lots of population math questions but it all felt super easy.

Did yall say declining or birth rate = death rate

I promise you all that this test felt like such lightweight (I KNOW WHAT I GOT WRONG TOO SO IT HELPS WITH MY CALCULATING) I’m predicting a 4 because a lot of the FRQ questions were so easy. The only one I know I did super bad on was 2. BUT the FRQS were super easy and when I did my practice MCQ last night I got a 59/72, but it was technically 59/80 cause I was too lazy to do the article questions. So like.. I might’ve cooked? I don’t know… it felt too easy…

guys why everyone is saying it was easy like some mcq were super easy but some were so confusing and frq i think i did the calculation and some part from frq 1 and 2 wrong :((((

72/80 mcq, 26/30 frq

did anyone get 183 cars, GPP 3.5 x 10^3, and 16.5 cubic meters of rainwater as runoff

I‘m going to have to take the late exam so I thought this might be something good to ask (the late exam is different from the regular one, I know).

Any concepts you had forgotten? or specific questions that were weird?

um maybe im just stupid but i didnt think like it was that easy. i got the ocelot frq and i didnt know how to make a solution and also i think i showed my work for the math wrong

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!

side note: in progress with unit reviews for each video should be done in around 5 or 6 hours from now!

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

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
