Hi, everyone.
I am self-studying APHG and I use the Princeton Review only. Basically I have read the book three times but I haven’t started memorizing anything (like typical examples and model names) intentionally. When I finish an official released exam I found that many things on the multiple choice questions were those I didn’t hear about. I think that the Princeton does not cover some examples (PR may cover some but I just forget). Do you think that PR is sufficient for a person with no prior knowledge about geography to get a 5 on the test? Please give me some advice.
Thanks in advance.</p>
No matter what study guide you use, they really don’t have enough information in them to get a 5 with no prior knowledge. Study guides are meant to be used as a SUPPLEMENT to a standard AP textbook. With the test 8 days away, I’d recommend grabbing a Rubenstein book, and reading through there. I have some good recent notes and study guides I can send to you to help with that missing information. Shoot me a PM and I’ll link you to them!</p>
Thanks, EMKaitlyn.</p>
<p>Not really sure what EMKaitlyn is talking about. I bought a Barron’s book 2 weeks before the exam (didn’t take the class) and got a 5. Barron’s is really the only review guide worth anything in most subjects.</p>
