Is AP Human Geography really that easy?

<p>Do you think it’s worth self studying for the exam? I’m pretty interested in the topic but I’m already taking 2 other AP’s (Euro and Comp Sci). I also am taking all honors classes rather than my APs. I plan on taking about 7 more APs as a junior and senior. Do you think it’s worth taking AP Human Geography or should I just not take it?</p>

<p>the only reason I would not take it is because of time</p>

<p>I didn’t take the class and studied with Barrons starting at like 2/3am the night before, and I got a 4. Is it worth taking? If you’re going for an AP scholar award, by all means go for it. Otherwise its pretty useless, most schools I’ve seen don’t take the credit.</p>

<p>I self-studied for two days and got a 5</p>

<p>^However, I walked out of the exam thinking I could have also gotten a 2… I think it helps to have had AP 2 history classes and to have taken it my Junior year. You need to be very “worldly”</p>

<p>That credit is useless though. But if you want to spend 87 bucks, by all means go ahead. </p>

<p>I got a 2 on aphg as a freshman.The class was easy and so was my teacher. The test was kinda hard. </p>

<p>I got a 5 on it last, was really challenging since I believe they’ve purposely buffed it to make it a lot more challenging than in the past. 1 FRQ had 35% of the people who took it get 0/7 points which resulted in so many 1s and 2s. Easy class, but needs a redesign in my opinion seeing as how they buffed up the difficulty </p>
