Mrs. Kroutil's Video Library
The topics are tagged by course, so you can search for #apes and #apenvironmentalscience and get all of the videos I think are relevant to our course. Or, you can simply search by topic. For example, if you want to search for videos relating to climate change, you can type "climate change" into the search field and all of the videos relating to climate change will show up.

SHMOOP
I recommend taking the diagnostic test first, because it will give you a good idea where you should focus your studying and it is only 15 minutes long.
This page at Shmoop also has "Game Day Tips", which includes tips for:
- The day before the test (They call it "Game Day Eve")
- Test Day (They call it "Game Day")
- What to Bring
- What not to bring
Shmoop also has three practice APES exams. However, the practice tests have NOT been updated to reflect the new format. The NEW 2020 exam gives you 90 minutes to answer 80 multiple choice questions and 70 minutes to answer 3 FRQ questions. Additionally, each multiple choice question NOW has 4 choices instead of 5. So, the format will not be exactly the same, but the content should be similar.
