What AP test study books are best for AP Human Geography? Any feedback is appreciated.

I used Barrons the night before and got a 4. The earlier you start, the better off you’ll be. Also, the AP Human Geo exam has an emphasis on vocabulary and names; you should also know at least the general location of every country in the world.
Ethel Wood is what I used to study and I made a 5. I used it as a supplement during the school year and really started to buckle down and study during March and April. Her MC’s are way harder than the AP exam’s, so you’ll be fine. Don’t just randomly memorize vocab. Try connecting ideas to other topics and question yourself. For example, if you’re reviewing prorupted states, you will already know the basic definition so ask yourself other things. How do their governments typically run? What are their advantages/disadvantages? Why did they form that way? It makes things easier to organize in your head. Start studying now and you’ll make a 5.
Are you self-studying? I found that Princeton’s Review was helpful for me.
Make sure not to go over topics that you already know pretty well, you just need a basic knowledge of everything, and you’ll do well. Good luck!
Supports for urban renewal and gentrification??
I have the Barrons APHG Review, Barrons 400 Flashcards for APHG (vocab), AND Princeton APHG Review. All are extremely helpful. You can also go to www.barronsbooks.com/AP/humangeo/ for a practice exam.
I used Ethel wood as well and got a 5, but there are a few topics it leaves out so I also borrowed a barrons book from my teacher and looked at those specific topics. You could probably still get a 5 without knowing them though.
