Class prep · TJ AP Environmental Science

Follow the evidence,then explain the system.

An independent AP Environmental Science prep course, from ecosystems and populations through land, water and energy use, pollution and global change. Interpret data, connect environmental mechanisms and evaluate solutions with clear limits. Every problem has a full worked solution. Built by Neil Kothari, a TJ alumnus.

Problem 1

  • Test level
  • Multiple choice
  • No calculator
  • 4 pts

In fictional equal-resource trials, adding a second individual of species S reduces the first S's growth from 8 to 5 units. Adding an individual of species T instead reduces it from 8 to 6. The limiting resource is the same shared food, and all other conditions are held fixed. Which interpretation matches the records?

Lesson 1.1: Species Interactions and Shared Resources

Use resource limits and measured partner effects to explain ecological interactions.

Start with shared resources, competition and measured effects on each species. Use that evidence to distinguish ecological interactions.

Problem 2

  • Core
  • True or false
  • No calculator
  • 2 pts

In a fictional pot model, two seedlings of the same species each require 5 water units per day, but their shared pot supplies only 8. No other resource limits growth. Evaluate: "The seedlings can compete even though they belong to the same species."

Is the statement true or false?

Problem 3

  • Core
  • Multiple choice
  • No calculator
  • 4 pts

Two fictional insect species use one limited food type. In one period both feed mainly at noon. Later one feeds mostly before sunrise and the other after sunset, while the daily amount of food remains unchanged. Which conclusion is supported?

How it works

Class prep that works alongside class

A complete AP Environmental Science prep course, intended for grades 11 to 12 after Honors Biology and Honors Chemistry. Work alongside your school course or study the material in sequence. Each lesson starts with a concrete example, develops the idea, and shows how to check your reasoning before you try the practice.

  • Original problems in several formats: true or false, multiple choice, multi-part and free response.
  • Each one is marked core, test level or beyond.
  • Interpret environmental data, distinguish system boundaries and evaluate solutions with their constraints and tradeoffs.
  • A worked answer for every problem, ending with the mistake that most often costs points.
  • Lessons covering every mapped topic, with diagrams that connect ecosystems, resource use and environmental change.
