3. Obtain materials to improve your skills in areas where you need additional study from among the following:
   
   

   The Annenberg/CPB video course, The Race to Save the Planet and its accompanying text are no longer available for distribution, but can be borrowed or rented. The study guide is subject to limited availability. Few realize that this exam is almost identical to AP Environmental Science, and the AP Study Materials are as good as any. One or more of the texts from the Reference Publications section of the fact sheet, or other suitable textbook. You may wish to use Cracking the AP Environmental Science Exam, or the DANTES Series Environment and Humanity Guide. (See "rudman.html" first.) Our Bookstore features additional Environmental Science titles, which may be cheaper and easier to use than the "official" texts. Environmental Science, Student Review Guide Radical Simplicity : Small Footprints on a Finite Earth Plan B: Rescuing a Planet under Stress and a Civilization in Trouble
