AP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: What did you think?

<p>Gah! MC and FRQ #1 were very evil on this test. I think I received a 3 or maybe 4. For FRQ #1, I didn't know the two models at all, so I just created my own definitions for each of them and answered the questions based on the definitions I created. I then wrote in iambic pentameter and used the most complex words from my lexicon, in some sort of archaic prose form. I'll probably receive zero points for it. >.<</p>

<p>for FRQ 2, i wrote michigan and texas for migration-out? is that okay? and california and florida for in?</p>

<p>I hate myself I just google what the blank was I was blanking right, but I didn't put it down because I was scared that wasn't it.... I HATE MYSELF</p>

<p>Yeah i got half of the first FRQ wrong but I really thought the MC was easy so im not worried. At the most i got 10 wrong but I think i got about 5 or 6. Some of the general questions were hard but if you knew the location and just a little about it you could easily narrow them down to two. But some questions you needed to know US history which helped cause I am in AP US Hist this year. I checked 3 of the questions I was skeptical on and got all 3 right!! So I think i can pull off a five on the MC which will make up for that stupid first question.</p>

<p>how much did u guys write total? i really didnt write much i wrote around like 3-3.5 pages. tried to just get to the point cuz this test is just stupid i hate the subject.</p>

<p>3 pages (front and back = 2 pages) for FRQ #1, 4 pages for FRQ#2, and 3 pages for FRQ#3.</p>

<p>I wrote about two pages for each FRQ, but I have big-ish handwriting.</p>

<p>You're supposed to be succinct. They don't require an introduction/conclusion. This is geography, not English. :)</p>

<p>I write big and had a lot of blank space, and kept to the point.</p>

<p>I believe tomorrow we can start discussing the FRQ's in depth. Yay.</p>

<p>I wrote 6 pages total... one page front and back for each question.</p>

<p>1st FRQ: 1.5 pages
2nd FRQ: 2 pages
3rd FRQ: 2.25 pages</p>

<p>2 .5
3
3</p>

<p>as long as the content is solid and satisfies the question, length shouldn't matter</p>

<p>2.5
2
2.5</p>

<p>I think I managed to answer everything completely, and I write big.</p>

<p>yea, i agree with most people here
kinda hard MC, (thought there were too many questions about one country..)
FR 2 and 3 were easy and 1 wouldve been easy too, if they had been more clear about that second thing.
i bet most people knew the concept and would have been able to answer number one fully if it had been called its normal name.
i looked it up after the test and i was so angry that the testmakers tricked us that way.</p>

<p>Ah, yes - the large amount of MC questions about that one damn country (America's hat...)</p>

<p>There weren't THAT many. I mean if you don't know, just skip. The curve is ridiculous for Human. I skipped around 20 on my last practice test and pretty much failed the multiple choice but ended up with a 5 in the end.</p>

<p>lol. Burgess Model= Concentric model :P...our teacher told us about the diff names they wud use for the 3 city models like the day b4 the test.</p>

<p>Well, I thought hey is the Burgess model Concentric Zone model, but I said hey that doesn't fit with the Von Thunen so I won't put that, so I just guessed badly on it. Worse decision of my life!!!! I'll probably have to retake this next year!!!</p>

<p>FRQ 1 and 3 were extremely easy for me. We learned that stuff in my class. My teacher gave us a review sheet with a bunch of different models and who made them and stuff like that but even if I didn't get that I still could have got it right. How could so many people miss that?! The 2nd one was mostly common sense except I never learned #2 of C so I had no idea what to say for it. BTW I'm a freshman.</p>

<p>I knew exactly what the Von Thünen model was (Barron's emphasizes it), but I pretty much guessed what the Burgess model was. Essentially, I said that it was the Von Thünen model focused on the city and nodes (cities like LA where it has different nodes, like Hollywood, Pasadena, et cetera). That's sort of close, but whatever.</p>
