<p>Human Geo is not offered at my school, but I am taking the exam on Friday. I haven't done a whole lot of studying and there is this teacher at my school who is going to teach it next year that lent me his textbook. How helpful will this textbook be and is it possible to get a 5 just by reading Barrons.</p>
<p>it probably depends on the textbook (or so i’d assume.) im also taking the test on friday. i bought the kaplan review book and there is a LOT of material covered in there that hadn’t even been mentioned in my textbook (cultural landscape? rubenstein? something like that)</p>
<p>Thanks its called “Human Geography: People, Place, and Culture.” Should reading the review book be all I need?</p>
<p>honestly, i’m not sure. if you’re just reading one review book and not supplementing it with a textbook, then you may want to take some time and heartily go over one review book. then go to the bookstore and quickly skim another one and see if there is anything not mentioned in the review book previously read. in that way you’ll probably be able to cover most of the information needed.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot, that’s probably what I’ll end up doing. How easy/hard is this test supposed to be?</p>
<p>human geography is actually known as one of the easier or easiest tests. however, if its easy in general then it will be easy for EVERYBODY. your grade on the test (1-5) is based on percentages of everybody who took the test, so if it is easy for you then it will be easy for everybody else. in lieu of that, your score will probably not be helped any by the fact that its easy. (at least…thats what i think, haha)</p>
<p>I think a lot of people on CC don’t really get what easy means. I’m often like this. On my first practice AP for human geo, I got 4 questions wrong, 71 right. Because it was easy for me. A lot of my friends and classmates did the same (I go to a good school). But our scores are not what the average person doing HG gets. They are way, way higher. The average person taking the AP HG exam might find it easy, but he or she will still get an awful lot of questions wrong. You need maybe a 75% on HG to be headed for a 5, so that’s a lot more than you would need on say a Calc BC exam, so in that way, it is bad that it’s easy. But it’s also really easy for most CC-level people to get that much.</p>
