Official AP Human Geography thread 2012

<p>In addition, what are you even calling me ignorant for? I called another poster ignorant because he didn’t know where the three countries were. Why are you calling me ignorant? I assume it is because you realized it was true for you as well and couldn’t face up to it.</p>

<p>But, I wasn’t even referring to you.</p>

<p>What was the answer to the question with the map…was it coal or carbon dioxide?</p>

<p>I should have said this in the beginning. To clarify, I am not trying to insult anyone. I realize that ignorance is often due to your environment. This is what I’m criticizing. It might be self-inflicted, or it might be because of your school, household, parents, teachers, friends, and whatever. I am just saying Americans should proactively try to change this nature because ignorance will eventually convert itself into incapacity.</p>

<p>So was it about coal or co2?</p>

<p>@nsquared2, I believe I put coal, but I never studied for it or took a class so don’t take my word for it.</p>

<p>To clarify, which map was this again? The shaded one?</p>

<p>It was Carbon Dioxide.</p>

<p>Uh…I’m pretty sure we’re not supposed to talk about the MCs at all because they’re reused on future tests. I don’t know if they’d really check this thread or anything, but your score is supposed to get canceled if you do talk about it…plus you signed your signature saying you wouldn’t. You might want to edit your posts or something to be sure.</p>

<p>Loved the FRQs, especially the first one. Took me a little while to come up with three examples, but once I did I felt really confident. MC was pretty manageable, considering I started self-studying two days ago. Hoping for a 4 or 5.</p>

<p>I did the first one last because I had problems with it.
Does anyone know if we’re allowed to discuss FRQ answers yet, or do we have to wait until College Board releases them on their site or something? Anyone?</p>

<p>like apush, i came hoping the frq wouldn’t be too bad but ended up leaving hoping the frq would save my score xD</p>

<p>Kaytianel, so naive… sigh. </p>

<p>and ambitious, chilll… yeesh.</p>

<p>^ Sorry. I just don’t want to get in trouble after spending a whole Friday morning, if that’s what you’re talking about. That would really stink. :/</p>

<p>I thought the FRQs were super easy. I was really happy with the third one because for some odd reason I knew a lot about (fairly) recent events regarding that topic and France. I would have had a little more trouble if I had to use the Netherlands or Germany. </p>

<p>As for the multiple choice…well…I’m thinking about fifteen wrong. Oops. Most of the time I had the answers narrowed down to two similar ones and I just sort of went for it. </p>

<p>I think this is a good test to self study for. I just read Barrons last night and I felt comfortable going into the test.</p>

<p>What did ya’ll say were 3 walls/barriers? Also, which was it, coal or co2?</p>

<p>The 1st and 2nd FRQs were super easy. The 3rd gave me some problems, but thankfully we needed to only explain only 1. </p>

<p>MC was as expected, I expect maybe missing 15-20.</p>

<p>I said the Berlin Wall, barrier between North and South Korea, and barrier between Mexico and the US preventing illegal immigration. I said co2 but was really torn between that and coal.</p>

<p>Nice, I said Berlin Wall and the border between North and South Korea, I can’t believe I forgot about the Mexican border -_-. I mentioned the Truman Doctrine, idk, but to me it seemed like it was a barrier against communism. Think I would get away with that? I said coal because China was not that covered in the picture, and they are one of the hugest consumers of oil and fossil fuels, but not sure if that reason makes sense in this context.</p>

<p>I said Berlin Wall, Mexican border, and the walls the U.S. put up during the construction of the Panama Canal to keep Panamanians out out “U.S.” land. I focused on the U.S-Mexican border one for the rest of the questions though.</p>

<p>I put coal but I was stuck between that and CO2.</p>
