<p>Is studying the Barron's book sufficient to get a good grade on the exam?
Also is it true many colleges don't even accept AP Human credit? I don't wanna waste my time studying for something that I'm not getting credit for...</p>
<p>brinnnng up my post [bump]</p>
<p>according to the book reviews on amazon.com,
i believe barron's book should be more than sufficient to get a solid grade on the exam
(believe or not, many people claimed that they saw exactly same questions from barron's when they were taking real exam..)</p>
<p>Yeah, I have to take AP Human Geography on Friday. Barron's seems to be the only thing we have. Try to get some practice tests if possible. </p>
<p>As for your second question, some schools that offer AP credit for Human Geography include:</p>
<p>Purdue University
University of California - Berkeley
University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign
University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
University of Wisconsin-Madison </p>
<p>Most of the state colleges offer credit. Unfortunately, many of the ivies such as Cornell don't offer credit.</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me what supranationalism and devolution is?
I'm realy trying to understand these terms but I cant</p>
<p>Supranationalism: when countries give up some power so they can achieve similar goals
e.g., European Union members all using the Euro. Allows them to break economic barriers. Another good example is NAFTA.</p>
<p>Devolution: basically the process in which forces divide or destabilize states
e.g., UK joining the European Union lead to many Scots feeling they were given third-level status because states like Denmark with similar size and pop. were given a seat in the EU. Led to a revival of devolution in Scotland.</p>
<p>supranationalism and devolution..that was on my human geo test two years ago lol and i still dont know what they are =)</p>
<p>Good Luck to everyone out there taking there APHG test tommorow and yes the barron’s book is more than suffiecient…I’ve had sophomores, juniours and seniors tell me that…If you are going to an IVY league school than no you won’t get credit but depending on your preffered college…ask them if they will accept it or not</p>
<p>Just some questions
Any modern examples of buffer states? And examples of exclaves and enclaves?</p>
<p>Nagorno-Karabakh and Naxivan. Buffer State would be hmmmmm, USSR used Eastern EUrope as one during the Cold War. I should start studying LOL. It seems really easy tho, I think I will just read PR and take a practice test and get some sleep.</p>
<p>I guess we all now know that a less modern buffer state is Afghanistan (<em>wink</em>)! Did everyone enjoy their test? I thought the MC was harder than the released tests I’ve seen, but only because there was a lot of history and geography (regular, not human) that I wasn’t expecting. Also, in the true spirit of human geography, there were a bunch of words that I’ve never seen before and I’m pretty sure were just made up as a joke (my class is particularly amused by deindustrialization and hierarchical diffusion).
The free response were much more pleasant, in my opinion. Like a typical American, I can’t identify European countries on a map (though I did get two out of the three and I at least got the first letter right on the one I missed). Also, I wasn’t sure about my 3rd example for the first part of number 1 and ended up crossing it out and putting something else, which turned out to be a mistake. Other than that, though, I thought it went quite well!
Anyone else?</p>
<p>Soooo… I didn’t take the class and started reading the review book at 11pm last night. Read through it once, took a shower, went to school, set up something for a concert they had today, took the exam, became baffled at how this is a class. Like I seriously am expecting a 4…maybe a 5, but no less than a 3.</p>
<p>@ameliab12 Did your class really not know what deindustrialization and hierarchical diffusion are??? Haha this is awesome because I do thanks to my solid 6-7ish hours of studying. Remember everyone, procrastination <em>always</em> pays off!! lol</p>
<p>I can see how it would be hard for freshmen, because you have to be quite worldy.</p>
<p>Haha wcclirl. Same plan as you except I feel asleep ■■■. Lol I am a genius at regular Geo and History so the FRQ was no problem for me i think i got a easy 100. MC was hard tho, I didn’t know alot of terms. I believe i got 20 MC incorrect. Will this be enough for a 5?</p>
<p>^Yes, definitely enough for a 5… probably a very strong 5 too. I think it’s about a 66% overall to get a 5 and it sounds like you got a lot higher than that (probably around 80%).</p>
<p>@wcclirl444 no, we definitely knew those! I was just naming a few of the sillier APHG terms that seem to have been made up for laughs. On the test itself, I recall there being a question that was more about Econ than HG and the answers, besides specialization, seemed like made-up words.</p>
