<p>Is it just me, or does the Barron’s review have a lot of mistakes? They’re in the questions too, like in one question (26 on Model test 1, 2nd edition) it clearly uses centripetal where centrifugal should be. Making me think I’m not prepared, silly Barron’s! (I’m really not, just cracked this book open two hours ago :/)</p>
<p>spratleyj:</p>
<p>Could you elaborate? As in, give us the answer haha?</p>
<p>@ ModelCX8
Which # is that question? In which test? of Barron
I looked thru the practice + 2 practice tests of Barron and didn’t see the question…</p>
<p>I self-read the Barron’s prep book in January and I’m going over it again right before the test as review. Is this AP really this easy? From what I can tell it’s easier than both Env Sci and Psychology (both of which I’ve also taken this year).</p>
<p>@ skateme
I think I can elaborate. I don’t know if it’s correct though. Because of globalization, companies in more developed countries seek cheap labor source in less developed countries thus making the abundant human population in lots of less developed countries the “new” division of labor.</p>
<p>I thought globalization was just the merging of international economies, cultures, and communication.</p>
<p>What’s your definition?</p>
<p>just wondering, but whats the point of taking ap human geography. dont most schools not give any credit regardless of ur score on the test?</p>
<p>On a related note: Is the world converging? Are we all going to become homogeneous? Your opinion please =].</p>
<p>Central Place Theory: Developed by Walter Christaller, uses hexagons as the shape of the hinterland (area serviced by each central place). Assumptions: (i’m not sure), uniform landscape, no interrupting physical features such as rivers, consumers choose to obtain resources from their closest node</p>
<p>you can get either credit, or an elective credit most places, i think
plus its pretty easy, as far as ive heard</p>
<p>Darn. 2nd try.
Like now, some technology/communication companies are seeking out another source of labor in countries like India. Because of globalization, they can have the head quarter in America, and everything else in other countries. Thus making the population there the “new” division of labor.</p>
<p>Central Place Theory states that a large city serves as an economic hub for the smaller towns and villages surrounding it. It uses a hexagonal shape and assumes that all smaller towns surround the central city in specific and regular arrangements around the hexagon and that these inhabitants have exactly the same tastes and make the most efficient choices for goods and services.</p>
<p>I didn’t know the founder of this theory (it’s not in the Barron’s prep book) but according to Wikipedia it’s Walter Christaller.</p>
<p>im screweeddd i had a ****ty teacher for aphg, cramming right now, on chapter 3 of barron’s, second time going through</p>
<p>Question: Do you need to know the names of important people?</p>
<p>Question: What is the most tested area (if there is one) or possible areas in the exam for FRQ?
What conflicts beside the Palestinian/Israeli do I have to know?</p>
<p>spratleyj: Was my elaboration for the new division of labor right?</p>
<p>@ mathstarftw: I have a good website for the important people.

<p>a little worried about the essays.</p>
<p>multiple choice should be a breeze</p>
<p>I would say know the models of cities (concentric, sector, multiple nuclei) and also Burgess vs Von Thunen’s model. I’ve been studying all day, and the only time I’ve come across palestine is on a nation/state question, so I don’t think conflicts would need to be known.</p>
<p>Ya, I’m a little worried about the essays as well. Oh well. Worst case scenario is they are hard and I get a 3 or a 4 or something, which isn’t horrible though I would like to become a National AP Scholar next year…</p>
<p>@ ZenTsuki: You’re not alone! I notice the error too! It does, at first, I was confused. Then you mentioned the error so I go back and check.</p>
<p>@ TRUFFLIEPUFF: You’re not screwed! I am going thru Barron 2nd time too. But I don’t know why I feel so relaxed right now 
I should be freaking out, right?</p>
<p>@ puggly123: Are the essays actually that hard? Well, I am freaking out now. Because MC I know is going to be a breeze but for the FRQ, you have to know examples and stuff.</p>
<p>Describe the difference between nations, states, and nation-states.</p>
