<p>The exam is approaching...Does anybody have really good study material? I already have the de Blij textbook (Because I'm in the class) but I've heard there are better study guides out there. What do you recommend?</p>
<p>HELLO, I previously posted this but didn’t get my desired answer, so I decided to post it on this thread. Do I have to memorize any maps. For example, know the positions of different cultures across the globe or just understand to interpret them if given on the exam. I reviewed through the Barron’s FRQs and found out that we must have a wide knowledge of different historical events related to colonialism etc. I am self-studying the APHG course and my school’s history lessons are not very diverse so is there any website that gives a list of necessary historical events for the exam.
THANK YOU</p>
<p>I took the test last year, and the most map recognition I can remember right now was identifying two countries in Europe. And even then, each country (I believe) was worth one point, so if you forgot one it wasn’t too much of a hit. </p>
<p>The were some annoying questions that asked stuff along the lines of, “What kind of city is Boston?” or “What kind of country is Bolivia?” and provided no information in the exam. So you actually had to know information about the location, rather than understand and interpret. But there weren’t very many questions like that. If I remember correctly, a vast majority was understand and interpret the given information. </p>
<p>I THINK I used Barron’s, but I’m away from home so I can’t check. Whatever I users was pretty helpful lol</p>
