The environemnt and race to save..

Hi All,

I just got back from taking the DANTES Environment & Humanity exam.

rbowman's breakdown of the exam was very accurate:

libartsmgr also presented her breakdown here:

My version of the exam contained 104 questions. It did not have any questions regarding human evolution (homo habilis, hom erectus, homo sapien etc.). However, since libartsmgr took a version that DID, you should make sure you know the info. There is obviously quite a lot of difference between the version rbowman and I took, and the version libartsmgr took. So make sure you review the information that BOTH of these people posted.

All in all, I think this exam is in the middle range as far as difficulty. It is not "easy". There were quite a few questions that I either did not know, or had to make an educated guess on. It does go into quite a bit of depth on certain topics, and the questions are worded in unusual ways. This alone prevents me from calling it "easy".

However, if you make sure you know everything that rbowman and libartsmgr mention, you should not find it "hard".

I used Instantcert to study for this one. But I also did quite a lot of external research in order to get more details on certain terms and principles. I strongly advise anyone taking this test to subsidize Instantcert with additional sources (I posted a couple of links earlier that proved to be VERY helpful). Wikipedia was also invaluable.

I have no clue how I did on this exam. I did too much guessing to be overly confident until I get my score back.

I'll let you know how I did once my score report arrives.

A couple of additional pointers...

Know what nonpoint source pollution is.
Know what the current % of world population growth is.
Know the difference between strip cropping and contour cropping.
Know which region of the US is MOST affected by Acid Rain.

Hope this helps,
