Things that you need to know:
-You need to have all the glossery terms at the end of the datasheet memorized.
-Know the total number and % of world populations in the top 5 countries
-Know all the theorists like malthus, marx, mill, etc... There will be at least 1 question on each person
-Know trends of population and how it grows and is calculated
-know each formula and its components and be able to recognize and calculate
-Understand the Demographic Transition like your life depended on it
-Know the social policies for each of the top 5 countries in regard to population regulation/birth control


If you study hard, you will probably do better then I did. May Dog have mercy on your soul.

Ouch, sounds very tough. Thank you for the great feedback! I might take this one after all since IC covers it. I just got my $8.00 Populations text in the mail as well.

Steve, thank you so much for adding this exam. It looks very interesting.
