AP Human Geography

<p>Hi guys. I am a current freshman in high school and from what I am hearing on CC is that AP Human Geography is the easiest to self study. I would like to study it and take the test. I have never taken an AP course or test. What prep boom should I use? Also what are the tests like? Should I take the test in May (Problem is I don't have too much time) of this year or study it over the summer and take it May of 2015? Thanks</p>

<p>bump please help!</p>

<p>Human Geography is considered one of the easiest courses, but it’s fairly information-heavy, so I’d be cautious, especially if it’s your first. If you do decide to take it, make sure that you not only know the definitions, but can apply them to real-world situations; brushing up on current events can’t hurt, either, since having adequate examples will absolutely save you on FRQs. I recommend looking over some of the released exams - you won’t know the information, of course, but it will help you get a feel for the format & material to see if you’re quite prepared for it yet.</p>

<p>As far as prep books go, I usually rely on Barron’s, and it hasn’t failed me so far.</p>

<p>Usually the curve is insanely beneficial because of freshmen usually having this as their first AP, and other students commonly self-studying this. A combination of both freshmen and self studying, eh, won’t end well I think. </p>

<p>I mean, you could try, buy a review book and review to see how you do.</p>

<p>If you can take the class, its a joke, and the curve is insane so if you study just a little you’ll prob get a 5. </p>
