Thank you for these videos and your packet. My teacher doesn't really teach. I don't get why, it is an AP class, but regardless, you're a big help. I don't know what I would do if it wasn't for you.

[@Mr.Smedes]

Sorry to hear that, Madisyn. The good news is that lots of students every year self study for APES using just the videos on this channel and the Ultimate Review Packet and are able to pull off 4s and 5s, so you can totally do it! Make sure to check out the FRQ writing playlist on my channel since that's the skill that's hardest to develop on your own without guidance from a teacher. Good luck!

Why do I feel like we have the same teacher lol

facts, all my teacher does is he reads out the textbook for us.

[@thefly6537]

You are among the unsung heroes of the success of students

[@Mr.Smedes]

You're too kind, fly. Thank you.

[@hathairatable]

Thank you so much. My daughter got 5 in AP environmental science. God bless you.

[@Mr.Smedes]

Glad to hear it! Congratulations to her for writing like a scholar and earning that 5.

[@camisk1305]

I have my AP exam in two weeks and my class is 2 lessons behind. I’m so frustrated since my teacher said we no time and we’ll have to learn unit 9 on our own and won’t have time to review. I’m praying these videos help me. Ty mr. Smedes This is a lot of work considering the fact that I need to study for other AP exams too

[@alilfluty]

I feel you, our teacher got fired a week ago, school scrambled to find some retired science teacher to “guide” us while we’re a week from the exam. Hoping these videos and the guided notes are enough to make it 😭

[@TheIdiotChihuahua]

What a terrible teacher I’m so sorry dude. Luckily unit 9 is pretty much almost review . keep in mind stratospheric ozone and cfcs

[@alilfluty]

@@TheIdiotChihuahua That and ocean warming, and its effects on coral reefs (coral bleaching). We did group presentations on the topic ideas and I think we’ll be fine 😅 (And the teacher apparently resigned cuz he was gonna get fired from doing the unspeakable with a former student… it was insane, he was a really good teacher 😭)

[@TianTianPeng]

You are gonna be alright:)

[@breannahvelica7623]

I like how I am watching this video but it won't help me on my APES test because people have already taken it and the test goes really into depth with the cycles! Still love this video!

[@judahlee2367]

thanks! u covered a month worth of content in 20 minutes!

[@MihirRai398]

Great review! Very detailed and helpful. Do you think it's possible that, when you're done with the reviews, you could make a video about the required environmental legislations? I know you've covered them in your topic videos, but just a video that contains all of them would be helpful. Thank you for your hard work!

[@Mr.Smedes]

Thanks! Great suggestion. I'll definitely put together a legislation video once I finish units 8 and 9 for the Ultimate Review Packet.

[@bleachjazz1726]

@@Mr.Smedes yes please!

[@lidya3579]

Hey guys, I am planning to self-study AP Enviromental Science class this year since my school doesn't offer it. I don't live in the US and English is not my first language. Would it be too challenging? Should I put too much effort into it? Do you have any tips?

[@TeaTimeWElle]

Will you be signing up to take the exam in a place in your country, some schools may proctor the exam in your area. Quizlet has great resources, and the college board has videos for each unit on youtube. The class is very helpful if you would like to go into an ecology type field, but if you're not enrolled in the class, it won't look as good on applications

[@clear5844]

Is studying from the videos only enough?

[@jeannieee11]

good luck chat

Thanks king

[@allisonwhite6272]

Hello! I recently purchased this to review it before having students purchase it. One question is where are the KZbin FRQs? I see the keys are provided but where are the actual questions that I can assign? Thanks!

[@Mr.Smedes]

Hi Allison, great question! My TpT page has a free download that contains digital notebooks that students can use to write these FRQs. I just need to reformat those documents for use with the Ultimate Review Packet and then I'll get them uploaded there so you can either print it off for students or have them reference the questions through the Ultimate Review Packet website and write them down on lined paper or in a separate digital document. If you prefer to have them type responses in a Google Doc, check out my TpT page and you can download those digital notebooks as soon as you'd like. www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Smedes-Ap-Environmental-Science-Resources

[@ColeLailani]

Any one have the answer for the college board

[@-webfootoctopus7896]

thank you so much

[@soy_g4102]

Wish me luck with the test tmr. Either hell or heaven (but 51% I believe I will gone to hell)since my teacher is always make those questions complicated. I found your packet is very detailed/interesting and helpful, I love the format that you use on your website, damn cool. But yes, I think I've learned more after watching your videos, a bit progress. Hopefully, I'm gonna survive during the test. Overall, I really appreciate your effortttttttttt

Check out this playlist! It will walk you through how to write each of the 3 different FRQs on the exam. kzbin.info/aero/PLlk-I8-VuM_u96_2ztFZBND2s1Agn3A5q&si=YMR3KCvezrj-KEz-

[@Mr.Smedes]

@@clear5844 There are definitely students every year who use just the videos on this channel and the URP and get 4s and 5s. However, it really depends on your existing science background. If you're self-studying, the URP is designed to give you everything you need to pass the exam a lot more quickly than watching all 99 notes videos on this channel, and with tons more practice opportunities. You can check out the first 2 units totally free and see if you think it's worth purchasing.

Is a dog and human an example of symbiosis?

[@Weedwacker112]

Yeah, cause they're living together in an ecosystem. But if you like the human and dog like each other and the human is taking good care of the dog, it can be considered mutualism.

[@brooklynwashington-dj1ot]

why don't you do these review videos for every unit?
