<p>As for the MC, I thought it was hard. Well now I can't remember hardly any of the questions, short term memory loss lol. But we never learned most of that darn stuff in my class. That kinda ticked me off. I couldn't concentrate either, I kept rereading the questions and stuff. I skipped a lot and flipped through for ones I was sure of. Timed tests freak me out too much lol. All I can do now is hope I did good. sigh :(</p>
<p>They told us that the Von Thunen Model & the Burgess Model were similar in shape, which means that everyone had a fairly easy shot at guessing since they both consist of rings.</p>
<p>Sligh_Anarchist, what you wrote might pertain more to the multiple-nuclei model but I'm not too sure about that. Hopefully, you got some points though.</p>
<p>Human is such a broad subject since there are so many countries in the world that some multiple choice problems are always going to be tricky because it's near impossible to cover everything in class. The things that you didn't learn in class, other people probably haven't either so don't stress out about that.</p>
<p>That was the most random MC I've ever taken. I mean, folk music???</p>
<p>what about frq 2.. i wrote michigan and texas for out migration, and florida and california for in? right?</p>
<p>Yeah the folk music one was weird, but I'm pretty sure the answer was something about the Appalacian mountains.</p>
<p>Ok Random Questions, Add to this List if you think of others.
1. Barbed Wire
2. Theocracy</p>
<p>I think I got the folk music one too and yeah, the barbed fire was pretty weird. Theocracy wasn't coved in my class but it was in Barron's so I'm pretty sure I got that one right. I didn't think that one was really tricky at all.</p>
<p>The other thing that got me about the MC was that some of the answers were too similar. I mean, I could eliminate a couple options but the ones that were left were pretty similar. I thought either one could be right. Usually on other tests the next best answer is far from the right one. You know what I mean? Did anyone else think so?</p>

Lmao. Everyone in my testing room was freaking out about the 1st FRQ too. Darn CB for being detailed and not giving away the common name but they kind of gave slight clues within the question by saying that the two models were similar.</p>
<p>I honestly don't think MC was too much harder than anything from practice/past tests. Human is one of the lowest scoring tests not because "stupid freshmen" take the AP and try to BS their way through but because of the obscure questions that come up.</p>
<p>Oh, and Sligh_Anarchist, a reader is only assigned one question to grade. Like my teacher was assigned #2 a few years back and he only graded the 2nd question.

<p>Haha, everyone in my test room happened to gasp when we opened the free response, even the seniors. Luckily, the various internet sources I studied 3 days before the test, helped on the 1st FRQ. First AP Exam, freshman...</p>
<p>True.. My teacher always told us "Guess the one that isn't like the others"</p>
<p>My class did a project on theocracies in the world today. It was in our book.</p>
<p>My human geography teacher filed an official complaint about the bad naming of the Concentric model. Don't know if it will work, but worth a try.</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>Ah! Excellent idea! I hope CollegeBoard takes the complaint seriously!</p>

haha, our teacher told us about this, said that some teacher sent all of the human geography teachers an email about the complaint. I personally don't think it was the college boards fault, because if you were to read the hisory of the concentric model(as much as people read about Von Thunen) then you would realize that the question is actually very simple.</p>
<p>Wow, I am amazed that everyone else did the same thing with the first essay. I had no idea what the burgess model was, but since they said that it looked similar on paper to the Von Thunen model, I guessed correctly that it was the concentric zoning model of a city. It seems very weird that everyone else did the same thing, though.</p>
