    This document contains sample practice questions for a Geography exam on population topics, including: 1) A data response question asking to compare fertility rate changes from 1950 to 2020 in three regions and explain reasons for changes in the less developed region. 2) A reading comprehension question about India's population reaching one billion in 1999 and the strains of rapid population growth, as well as India's ineffective family planning programs from the 1950s that failed to educate people and instead encouraged irreversible sterilization, worsening the population problem. 3) Questions asking to identify if the feedback in the situation described is positive or negative, and state two challenges of overpopulation.
