AP Human Geography Study Thread

<p>will looking over the voc in the barrons be enough. is this test voc based? i already read the barrons once and i dont wanna reread it.</p>

<p>A vernacular region is a perceptual region, that shows a person's ideas and thoughts about hazards and surroundings.</p>

<p>Vernacular basically means perceptual or cognitive.</p>

<p>Barron's vocab is good, but for the essays and some harder MC questions you need to know examples, so you may want to read it again.</p>

<p>The released exam I took, was very difficult compared to the Barron's tests, but some of the test is vocab based, so if u know all the vocab then you will get 3-4, depending on your aptitude for geography, but knowing just vocab will (in my opinion) NOT GET YOU A 5. </p>

<p>Next Question: How does gentrification lead to inner-city decay?</p>

<p>By the way: I just took the 2005 Free Response Questions and I got a 27/60, which puts me with a score of about 35 on MC, which I got on 2001 exam, at a 4, which makes me PRETTY HAPPY (could be happier).</p>

<p>Then what gets you a 5?</p>

<p>Gentrification is like remodeling buildings in the central business district. This tries to bring younger ppl called yuppies into the cbd. This lead to higher prices that the poor people that originally lived there cannot afford</p>

<p>how can you find out what you got on the frq? How do you score yourself?</p>

<p>what is the gravity model?</p>

<p>They have the scoring key in which you can see how close your answers are, to what is needed.</p>

<p>It's at the Apcentral.com, site.</p>

<p>Gravity model: Population of both areas/Distance between both areas.</p>

<p>Next Question: Name some supranational organizations?</p>

<p>A: EU, NATO, Warsaw Pact, OPEC</p>

<p>Q: What are all the indicators of direction?</p>

<p>Q: What are the two types of spatial concentration?</p>

<p>Q: Storefronts along Fifth Avenue in New York City consist of which kind of spatial distribution?</p>

<p>Sorry guys, I just found this thread... I'm a new member taking WHAP and AP HG at the same time. </p>

<p>And one more q: does the barron vocab suffice? Or should I define all the vocab on the AP central site?</p>

<p>i got 68 out of 75 on the barrons practice test. around what score is that?</p>

<p>That would be a 5, but the real exam was harder for me.</p>

<p>Direction: absolute, relative</p>

<p>Concentration: clustered/dispersed (not sure)</p>

<p>Storefronts: linear distribution</p>

<p>I am also taking World and HG at the same time.</p>

<p>Name some of the worlds manufacturing regions.</p>

<p>Go to collegeboard.com, and do those AP questions, because those are similar to the one's u will get on test day.</p>

<p>That would be a 5 on the real test, but for me I got 67/75 on Barron's then took the released exam and got 50/74, so the released exam is a lot harder (in my opinion) than the Barron's test.</p>

<p>Direction: North, South, East, West are absolute directions.</p>

<p>Concentration: Clustered/Dispersed (not sure).</p>

<p>Storefronts: linear distribution</p>

<p>Next question: Name some of the worlds manufacturing regions?</p>

<p>I would have suggested to everyone that you read Barron's and read the study guide or textbook by Rubenstein as it is pretty big.</p>

<p>The test is in a couple of hours.</p>

<p>Good luck!!</p>

<p>The test wasn't too bad, but the 2nd essay was horrible, the small town, I had NO clue.</p>

<p>That test was a joke. The MC were easy as phuck. I BSed the second essay, but it was long and made good sense IMO.</p>

<p>Pimpervious, did you read the Barron's book?</p>

<p>The MC was a freaking joke. I answered all of them with surity. The second essay was really easy, just had to analyze the culture of small town southern states :0</p>

<p>sounds kind of like last year.</p>
