Books for Environmental Science & Human Geography?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>I am self-studying both of these AP tests. Zero background in either subject (though I know some ecological stuff from biology that could be useful for environmental science). I've read the stickies on AP book suggestions, but I'm just looking for a little extra input before I make my final decisions.</p>

<p>So far I am thinking REA for Human Geography and PR + Smartypants for Environmental Sciences? Are these books enough to get a 4/5 on the AP exams (preferably 5)? Any other useful books? People here have said Smartypants is pretty good for ES but on amazon the reviews are pretty bad.</p>

<p>Help please? :D</p>

<p>The books you have in mind seem pretty solid. Environmental Science and Human Geography are both very easy courses, so those books seem plenty to get a 4 and even a 5. If you want to spend the extra $15 or so, you should buy the barron's review just for reinforcement but I think REA will be enough. Study hard and good luck on the exams!</p>

<p>Smartypants is definitely good.</p>

<p>For Human Geography last year, my daughter used the Ethel Woods book.</p>

<p>I've always heard that Barron's is best for Human Geography and that Smartypants is the best for Environmental Science. Good Luck.</p>
