population test

Today we took the test on population. I think I did pretty well on it I studied hard for it and think that the test went well. If I where to estimate I would probably say that I got a 84%. Some of the things on the test were how many people on the planet right now, where most of the population growth rate takes place, how long it took us to get to our first billion, crude birth and death rate, rate of natural increase (RNI), net migration rate, immigration and emigration, push and pull forces, total fertility rate (TFR) and what number it must be to remain the same.
