Yes, IC is good enough for this one, plus look in the exam feedback section. Tons of useful info concerning this test.

What about the Pass Your Class study guide? Anyone used that one to pass?

I passed this test with just reading 2/3 of one of the 6 books it lists that the exam was made from. It was about 700 pages, so in such a short time I would try the IC if everyone says it works.

Good luck!

I passed this test today, it was the first test I have taken. I was pretty worried about half way through the test but it all turned out ok scoring a fair amount above passing. I studied the Pass Your Class book on the "race to save the planet earth" and also studied the IC. The test was alot harder than I expected. There were many occasions where it was extremely hard to decide between "TWO" answers and several things that I had never read or even heard of. To feel really comfortable I would have rather had another study guide to assist.

Intro to computing is next, any suggestions?

How do you study the IC? I am not sure of what this means.

Just finished this test after about a week of half-study (maybe an hour a day... maybe.) It depends on how literate you are about biology and/or the environment, but I didn't think it was that hard. Definitely wouldn't have wanted to take it cold, but I might have passed (I'm also an animal nerd who works in customer service at a major lawn and garden company... I might have a little advantage there).

Environmental Science Vocabulary | Course-Notes.Org (just skim all of these and zero in on a concept that sounds important that you don't know)

5 Steps to a 5 on the AP Environmental Science exam by McGraw Hill:
Amazon.com: 5 Steps to a 5 AP Environmental Science, 2012-2013 Edition (5 Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations Series) (9780071751995): Linda Williams: Books
This was the first and only book that came in at the library in time for me to study it. This is a great book. This book and snazzlefrag's .pdf alone are enough to pass.

Now all the textbooks and guides that I reserved at the library are in. After the test. Being the nerd that I am... I'm checking them out and flipping through them Big Grin
