google all these topics below and know them and you will pass, I got a 50 just like that:
Be familiar with the Chernobyl nuclear plant meltdown
Eutrophication
Know about the Ozone layer, where it's located
Biomagnification
Subsidence - Sinkholes, etc.
Population - Death Rate/Birth Rate
Primary and Secondary Succession
Wastewater Treatment
Know what nonpoint source pollution is.
Know what the current % of world population growth is.
Know the difference between strip cropping and contour cropping.
Know which region of the US is MOST affected by Acid Rain.
Be familiar with the term "Cultural Euthrophication "
Know the role of the EPA
Recognize what form of transportation is NOT considered mass transit
Be familiar with the causes and effects of infant mortality in developing nations- I chose "poverty"
What is an "omnivore"?...Oink-oink
Layers of the atmosphere and how ozone effects certain layers
How a law is formulated in Congress
Effects of U.S. government subsisdies for "Big Oil" corporations
What country is the biggest producer of Hazardous Waste
The feature found in "state of the art" landfills
The primary suggested method of disposing municipal solid waste as per EPA guidelines
What region of the U.S. is most affected by acid rain
Where the "Taiga" biome figures in as related to temperate climates
The two main factors that influence a region's climate
The definition of "ecology"
The effect industrialization initallly has on birth and death rates--a VERY confusing set of answers...read carefully
Where "screening" fits into wastewater treatment
I also recall 2 questions about phosphorous and how it figures into cultural euthrophication and wastewater treatment
The ocean water pollutant that is the most damaging- I chose Raw Sewage
The version of the test I took had no questions on the following:
Soil composition
Prehistoric man
The Green Revolution
Rain shadows
The person who started the phrase: "Greeenhouse Effect"
These points were covered on the DSST practice exams, so i would be familiar with them-it could not hurt
Mass transit is a vehicle that transports more than a few people, you should see the obvious answer.
Be familiar with the causes and effects of infant mortality in developing nations- all the answer except one are a cause of the real answer, poverty .
What country is the biggest producer of Hazardous Waste (ask president Bush ).
The ocean water pollutant that is the most damaging- You missed this one since you chose raw sewage. Call Exxon and ask them the effect of the Valdez .
The effect industrialization initally has on birth and death rates--a VERY confusing set of answers...read carefully (decrease in death, decrease in birth ).
⢠trophic levels (food chain, food web, producers, consumers)
⢠greenhouse effect (cause and effects)
⢠waste management in US
⢠ozone layer (many questions here)
⢠climate & temperature (how changes occur)
⢠atmosphere, stratosphere, troposphere (how each is affected)
Eutrophication (natural and cultural) was a big topic
The different green house gasses was at least 10 questions
Role of Ozone
Carbon monoxide vs dioxide and what they do
Waste water plants were big too, know the different parts and how the sludge is effected in which parts
