How to use this AP Environmental Science study guide

Answer before you read

Every unit page opens with real questions. Say your answer out loud first, then check it. Recognizing the right answer on a page feels like knowing it and is not the same thing.

Get the vocabulary down first

Most lost AP Environmental Science points come from a term you half-remembered. The key-term reference is the fastest way to close that gap, and it is free to read in full.

Then space it out

Cards you miss come back sooner, cards you nail come back later. That is what the app does with the rest of this deck once you have worked through the previews.

Test yourself before you review. Pull up a unit, answer the sample questions from memory, and only then read the answer — retrieval beats re-reading. Learn the unit's key terms first so the questions have something to hook onto, then let spaced repetition in the app bring back whatever you missed, a little further apart each time you get it right.
