<p>Very spoiled <_<</p>
<p>Probably don’t buy it guys. Not worth it.</p>
<p>bump 10char (yes, i’m using the term! xD … oh wait, with this, there’s no point in 10char. whatever)</p>
<p>bump 10char</p>
<p>ahh we’ll just let this entire thing die away. it’s not like human geo should get anything anyways :(</p>
<p>We actually have a couple of Human Geo classes at my school and we use Rubenstein… almost everything is in there, with a few minor exceptions. It’s an all-senior class, usually… but we don’t do much and thus our median grade’s probably in the low 3’s. I know that Geo gives you credit at some colleges – that’s why I’m taking the test (besides from the fact that I love the material)</p>
<p>i studied the night before (i didn’t mean to it just happened) and i got a 4</p>
<p>human geo is only for seniors in my school. are the prep books enough? do any of you self studiers use the textbook? i’m like 99% sure i’m going to take the exam, if prep books arent enough im gonna try and borrow it off one of my senior friends.</p>
<p>I have yet to start studying, and I’m a freshman 
I am not <em>too</em> worried, I think two months is still plenty of time to study and get a 5. Only problem is, I’m taking others besides AP Hum. Geo, and my college level math class is killing me. I am so afraid that I will get a C in it, I will only barely lift myself to a B by the end of the quarter- I hope anyway XD. I feel like such an overachieving failure 
Oh, btw, is a text necessary? I am just using barrons with the flashcards. Should I buy something like Knox to accompany it? Thanks, and good luck everyone!</p>
<p>I thought the FRQ were all really easy.</p>
<p>BUT *** AT THE MCQ?! Anyone else think they were UNUSUALLY hard compared to the past couple of years?</p>
<p>I self-studied and by that I mean I did nothing but read Barron’s the night before. Compared to the sample tests in Barron’s the MC did seem really hard.</p>
<p>^yankeeman…i did the exact same thing as you did! read the barron’s the night before. i thought the MC was okay, i could answer a lot of it using apwh knowledge, it’s mainly the frqs that threw me off. hopefully the curve is more lenient this year or something.</p>
<p>yeah, wheatbread, self-studying apwh definitely helped too with a lot of the specific country questions.</p>
<p>yay for apwh. i know i posted this in the other human geo thread, but…:</p>
<p>can you guys tell me if my answers were okay?</p>
<p>For the first one, i got them all correct except for the one in the south (!) i put some random religion.
I chose the church of latter day saints as my religions for the second part and i said they wanted to escape religious persecution and wanted economic prosperity- and followed other mormon groups there
for the inequal representation i said it didn’t represent the amount of religious diversity in the US.</p>
<p>ahh for the second one i bs’d. i said squatter settlements, for location, was outside of the main core business area, and filled with poverty.
for the two causes, i said deindustrialization, and that led to people losing their jobs and living in the squatter settlements and other bs.
the other reason…i forgot, just something about them being poor.
for the last one, i bs’d it, and for enviornmental ones i said it was filled with waste and it was unsanitary because lack of maintenance, and i bs’d something about political- how they could be taken advantage of (: /) and social, idk something else about them being poor.</p>
<p>for the last one, dairy farms: i put how urbanization is taking over the business for agriculture and some bs about it taking up too much room.
for organic farms, i said supply and demand, how it’s more efficient to produce for the growing need for it. i also said how it takes up less land, some bs like that.</p>
<p>can someone tell me which of my answers were okay? gah, i did okay on the MC but i think i messed up on the frqs. : /</p>
<p>I think i did pretty good on the MC except for a few, but i did answer all 75 of them</p>
<p>tell me if you think they are correct or semi or what 
On the FRQ’s i put this:</p>
<p>1a-mormon, southern baptist, and lutheran
1b-i put that like because of the civil way southern baptists were secluded because they split country in half and i put the south is a tight knit group of people because they have accents(lol it was difficult)
1c-the map didnt show the complete diversity of relgions of us. I used florida as an example i dont really remember what i put? lol i think i answered it correct though</p>
<p>2a-i put they are outskirts of city
2b-something about gentrification and land is more expensive is cbd. (idk if gentrification is right though im pretty sure that only happens in more developed countries)
2c-economic-they are bad for tourism
environmental-they are dirty and nasty(i didnt say that exactly but you get my gist)
social-cause more segregation</p>
<p>3a-dairy is declining because it is becoming less and less popular in us because we are developed nation and 20% of pop. works in primary sector
3b-organic is better for environment and more prone to happening in more developed countries like us.</p>
<p>i hope i didnt completely bomb those essays because im kinda wanting a 5.</p>
<p>Seriously? The MC was easier than the FRs? Bull. </p>
<p>Maybe because our teacher recommended us studying everything else NOT related to the FRs at all. It was ridiculous. Everybody pretty much BSed the whole thing, but we had a good gist about each one of them, except for the first one. </p>
<p>On the funny side though, on the third FR part A, my friend wrote about the hippie movement and vegetarians, therefore a lack in dairy farms. I laughed, but couldn’t she be a little bit right? :</p>
<p>Does anyone have any info on the scores from previous years, and the curves? The AP curve thread here has info from 2001, I think, for Human Geography. Anyone have any more current info? (It says a 58.?% = 5)</p>
<p>i did the same thing, i but catholic instead of lutheran. i also dont know how i did on the 2nd part of it, caues i talked about how baptists came to the south because of religious freedom.</p>
<p>for the 2nd one, i put that they were located on the outside of many urban areas becaue of increasing amount of people and only a set number of jobs and houses. part c i put that governments couldnt give them the gifts they give normal citizens like water or health care, how the do harm to the environment by bathing in the local waters and how they make a city look bad to multinational corporations.</p>
<p>and for the last one i put that dairy is going down due to larger milk sheds by increased transportation and more prodictivity by cows that can produce more milk, so no need for more. and that organic farms are going up because they are cheaper to run and that they are eco friendly and many people are willing to pay more for the food that wont ruin the enironment with pesticides.</p>
<p>im thinking i got like 1 or two points off for the last two, but like half off for the 1st one. i didnt feel that great about the mc, so maybe a 4 or a 3</p>
<p>I self-studied for this exam for maybe 3-4 hours the night before the test. Yep, that’s all I did. I asked the teacher who teaches APHG for a study guide, the book (An Introduction to Human Geography) and I bought the Barron’s guide. </p>
<p>The MC was really easy! Much easier than the FRs. I only had trouble on 3 questions, like the newspaper one. </p>
<p>For The FRQs I put:</p>
<p>1) Lutheran/Baptist/Mormon, it was easy</p>
<p>2) I kinda BSed this but I used examples like how Rio de Jainero’s favelas are located in inaccessible places like mountains, and are havens for organized drug-related crime. </p>
<p>3) Conglomeration/Commercialization of farms+Suburban Encroachment, Increased Demand due to anti-green revolution+inherent smallness in organic farms (more farms per agricultural output)</p>
<p>^nostalgia, so for my arguments (for the last one)
it’s okay if i put organic farms are increasing because of supply and demand and because there’s less space used?</p>
<p>^^
I think so! I didn’t take the class though, I could be completely wrong</p>
