<p>Gravity= Big Cities overcome distance differences by having a ****load of people</p>

<p>P1*P2/ Square of Distance</p>
<p>My sister didn’t study for this test at all. She got a 5.</p>
<p>Of course, she did the same thing with APUSH, with all of her social studies APs. That’s what she’s good at. But nonetheless, if you already know your stuff because you paid attention throughout the year, of course it’s possible to pass the AP without studying. I know most of this stuff because I paid attention all year, even though I never read the textbook.</p>
<p>Also, you can get college credit for this class. My teacher actually had a student get credit for first year college chemistry with a 5 on this.</p>
<p>I’m thinking of self-studying this course and taking next years exam…how easy do you think it is to do that and pass the exam?</p>
<p>I know like all the concepts…most of them are just common sense and stuff we’ve already learned about in other classes.</p>
<p>But I still need to remember all those names/theories? Anyone have a list of the really important ones?</p>
<p>Not too worried about this exam. I dont think I’ll get credit anywhere for this and…we basically did nothing all year in class hahaha. The class is pretty much a joke. Especially for an AP class. </p>
<p>I got Barrons and I’m gonna study/read/review that until 11pm and then I’m off to bed!</p>
<p>Good luck tomorrow everyone! LAST day of AP exams tomorrow!!! woohoo</p>
<p>Quick Review of Theories:</p>
<p>Von Thunen Model</p>
<p>Explains land value in terms of rent. The closer to the central market, the higher the rent, and the further away the lower the rent. Intensive, bulk-gaining, perishable, hard-to-transport items should be located nearest the market. </p>
<p>Criticisms: transportation costs, topography, government policies, etc.</p>
<p>W.W. Rostow</p>
<p>Developed stages of economic growth. Aka “Rostovian take-off model” lol. Five steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Traditional society</li>
<li>Preconditions for take off</li>
<li>take-off</li>
<li>drive to maturity</li>
<li>high consumption </li>
</ol>
<p>Criticisms: environmentalists say that development doesn’t imply high mass consumption.</p>
<p>Thomas Malthus</p>
<p>Malthus said that population grows geometrically (exponentially) while food production grows arithmetically (linearly). This means that population will eventually outpace food production and we will die of famine lol. </p>
<p>Criticisms: unforseen factors such increased technology, wars, government policies, people’s ability to control their reproduction rates through contraceptives, etc.</p>
<p>does anyone know how specific the MC questions are</p>
<p>I took the 2006 exam because my teacher had it but they are not too specific. Most tests your knowledge of just knowing the general material. Obviously, there will be a few questions that are nitpicky.</p>
<p>Just took the HumGeo 2008 Audit Exam…and it was utterly difficult. Barron’s tests pale in comparison 
The audit exam asks about VERY SPECIFIC countries and what activities are associated with them. Of course, some are common sense, but for the majority I had absolutely no clue.</p>
<p>Score: 46.75 LOL </p>
<p>Guess I’ll spend the rest of the night cramming in what activities are associated with what countries…</p>
<p>where do you get a practice exam (other than barron’s)?</p>
<p>does anyone have the curve for this test?</p>
<p>60% is a 5 i think, 50% for a 4, and it just goes down from there.</p>
<p>Yeah hopefully the curve is rather lenient.</p>
<p>Easiest test I’ve ever taken.</p>
<p>MC was really specific…had to guess on a lot</p>
<p>I’m predicting 45-50/75 but who knows…</p>
<p>As for the FRQs, they were SO EASY. Definitely picked up a lot of points in that section. </p>
<p>You guys think the good FRQs will outweigh the bad MCs and give me a 5? I think the exam is 50% MC and 50% FRQ. And the curve is rather lenient I believe.</p>

<p>Well, I read the entire Barron’s Review last night, and my memory works well with that kind of thing, so it went well for me. lol</p>
<p>I did not study at all and did not take a class either except for a crappy online where I learned absolutely nothing. Easiest exam I have ever taken!!! Like seriously, WTH?</p>
<p>I just finished the test and I am so p*ssed. The Barron’s tests were 10 times easier than the real exam. The MC was a little hard because of the questions regarding specific countries that I had no clue about, but the Free Response was okay. The sad thing is that I think I did much better on my AP U.S. History test and our AP U.S. History teacher did not teach us a thing (we just went home early every class because she will always have something “urgent” to do doing our class).</p>
<p>I thought it was pretty easy on both ends, MC and FRQ. The FRQ difficulty was basically what I expected but some MC stuff was a little bit obscure.</p>
<p>i didnt take human geography but do many colleges actually accept it for credit? jw</p>
