APES Exam REVIEW LINK

Hey Everybody. GOOD LUCK ON MONDAY!

Remember to go through the MC section efficiently, answer all of the easy ones first and then go back through and answer the time consuming ones! You only have 90 minutes to answer 100 questions- you don't want to miss out on the easy ones because you spent too much time struggling on a hard one! Fill in all blanks in the last minute! You may get lucky!

Watch the  apes in a box on writing the frqs! He has great tips for you!

 Recommended Living on Earth Podcast from Earth Day 2016- take a walk, listen to the podcast and tune in to your inner environmentalist before the test!

"I wrote 'Big Yellow Taxi' on my first trip to Hawaii. I took a taxi to the hotel and when I woke up the next morning, I threw back the curtains and saw these beautiful green mountains in the distance. Then, I looked down and there was a parking lot as far as the eye could see, and it broke my heart...this blight on paradise. That's when I sat down and wrote the song."   - Joni Mitchell
