<p>Hello I am looking for some useful stuffs for my AP exam this year.
I've decided to take AP statistics, psychology, and Human Geography.</p>
<p>I'll attend academies to get a glimpse of AP statistics and psychology, but I have absolutely no idea about Human Geography. I have to do self-study for HuG because there are only a small number of people who take HuG.</p>
<p>I heard it's really important to memorize the vocabs for Human Geography, but I have nothing but Barrons right now. :(</p>
<p>I would reaaaaaaaaally appreciate it if you guys give me some advise or some datas(especially vocab part I'm really lost) or websites that might become handy to me.
Please help me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>It might be a good idea to get your hands on a Human Geography text. I'm in the class now, and we use "The Cultural Landscape: An Intoduction to Human Geography" by Rubenstein. It's a relatively small book and easy to read. I don't know what's all in Barron's, but the Rubenstein text is full of examples and models of all the human geog concepts and ideas.</p>
<p>I only used the Barron's Human Geography book for a couple weeks and I got a 5. The vocabulary is definitely important, but be judicious in allocating your time because not all sections are equally important. See previous tests for a better understanding. I believe old free response sections are available if you sign up for a teacher's account on the College Board's AP Central website.</p>
<p>You also need to have a decent understanding of the world's regions and their issues already. For example, one of my free-response questions asked me to relate several terms to a map that depicting South Asia (they asked for centripetal and centrifugal forces in two different countries). But as long as you keep somewhat informed then preparing is really just about learning the vocabulary so you can describe concepts that are mostly common sense anyway.</p>
<p>I'm taking a Human Geo course. We use the textbook by Rubenstein; it's pretty good.</p>
<p>And I'm using Kaplan and Barron's for prep. They're both very good - you can't go wrong with either one. Key terms are very important, and both books have lists of terms. I think Barron's list of vocab is more extensive.</p>
