2011 AP Human Geography Preparation Thread!

<p>Okay I post my opinions on FRQ’s and MC knowing I could get in trouble. You don’t have to, so please worry about yourselves.</p>

<p>agree with frenzies, some people need to calm down</p>

<p>I’m not going to post any specifics because I don’t want to get in trouble, but I actually thought the FRQ’s were hard and the MC’s were fairly easy. But I don’t know, our class never practiced with essays so maybe I just don’t have enough experience. MC wise, I’m sure I would get a 5 score, but I’m not so sure about the essays…
As a side note, I took the course and then read Barron’s last night. So I didn’t go crazy on studying or anything, I have had way to many things to deal with recently that I didn’t even realize AP exams were close until earlier this week…</p>

<p>Well, it does seem to be a cultural issue relating to the large amount of space available in Angloamerica</p>

<p>haha rapevictim. but i would guess culture, which i dont think is right. what would you guess?</p>

<p>None of the other possibilities worked</p>

<p>The answer had the word “Angloamerican” in it</p>

<p>and “cultural characteristics”</p>

<p>how many pages did you guys write for the FRQs?</p>

<p>About 2 pages for each.</p>

<p>I wrote at least a page for each FRQ, don’t know whether that is a good or bad thing.</p>

<p>FRQ #1- one and half pages.
FRQ #2 and 3- one page</p>

<p>What was the one that had the map and asked what all of the states had in common?</p>

<p>I think the Southern States are good at textiles, since they make a lot of cotton</p>

<p>^^^ I agree. If you were to give me an example of a buffer state in the 21st century what would you say?</p>

<p>^Mongolia.</p>

<p>Well, it’s obviously not the GDP of the country(African countries have a lot of mineral extraction). High-skills and high-tech is not really needed. I think the major limiting factor would be something else, but I can’t remember the other possibilities. Can someone jog my memory?</p>

<p>Would anyone happen to know why the EU was essentially created? Tourism or the economy perhaps?</p>

<p>^I think it was for economic unity…</p>

<p>Wasn’t it to promote the general economic welfare of the member countries?</p>
