2011 AP Human Geography Preparation Thread!

<p>I got a five :D</p>

<p>nice. did you study much or was it a read the review book once or twice kind of thing</p>

<p>Im doing self-study for this one…</p>

<p>Uhh. I mostly looked online at review guides. I did read Barron’s though. So, read a prep book, and then look online for teacher’s notes.</p>

<p>Google Ap Human Geography</p>

<p>There’s a plethora of teacher notes! They’re really helpful.</p>

<p>I feel like I learn more on the Internet than I do in school, in half the time. Sad, really.</p>

<p>So everybody is talking about how we should buy the PR book and not Barron’s, but what about Kaplan’s book? How is it compared to the other two?</p>

<p>How far are you guys with your studies?</p>

<p>I’m about to start the cultural geography unit in the PR book…
I’m using Kaplan as well…</p>

<p>I kinda procrastinated -____-</p>

<p>I finished PR, but I just read through it, not taking any notes or anything. How are you using it?</p>

<p>I’m reading through it and highlighting stuff. Doing the same with Kaplan. Kaplan has section quizzes and free response questions, which are also a great supplement. Have you done any practice test?</p>

<p>Not yet, I probably should though</p>

<p>I’m only using Barrons for this. Will I still be able to pull off a 5?</p>

<p>I just finished reading Barron’s. Took me about a week to read and highlight. I will now be reviewing with teachers’ notes and PR. I only started studying about a week ago and I feel confident. I scored a 60/75 on one of the Barron’s practice tests. If anything concerns me, it is the FRQs. How are you guys preparing for those?</p>

<p>Well you’re taking the course, so you should be prepared.
I’m using the samples in the PR, and Kaplan book.
Ap Central should also have some.
I’m sure they’d be helpful.</p>

<p>I’m stressing out though! I just started Cultural geography today in study hall!</p>

<p>@Mrluggs</p>

<p>I don’t have a class</p>

<p>I really need to know (soon) if Barron’s will suffice for a 5 or if I really should get PR also. I’ve been looking into it, and it’s about half and half (barrons vs. pr or barrons/pr).</p>

<p>Oh you don’t ? @stalanta. haha My bad. I assumed so because you talked about teachers notes and all. </p>

<p>@night- PR is great! I’m not familar with Barron’s, but PR has been amazing so far!</p>

<p>Why exactly is PR great? Why should I buy it, I guess is what I am trying to ask.</p>

<p>I’m getting worried now. I haven’t done any significant work yet, and the AP test is getting awfully close… Last year, I started preparing for Euro in December… at this rate, I’ll start Human Geography late April…</p>

<p>@Night- The maps, the models, etc. Just everything. It really breaks it down well…</p>

<p>@statlanta- How were you able to learn all of that material in a week?</p>
