I have spent the past few months self studying human geography out of Barrons and the Rubenstein textbook. I understand that the Human Geography Exam has been considered to be pretty easy, but it seems like last year the test was really hard, so I’m trying to be as cautious as I can and increase the probability that I get a 5 as much as possible.
I plan on doing practice FRQs and such, and I will continue to review Barrons and Rubensteins until the day of the test.
Can I expect a 5 at this point? Should I be safe with just these materials? What other materials/sources would you recommend to maximize my chance of getting a 5?
Human Geography was a pretty easy exam when I took it last year. The real teacher quit two weeks before school, and we had a substitute for the first semester then a first-year teacher with no background in history/social studies who just made us watch him play Call of Duty for the rest of the year, and I got a 5 self-studied the month before the AP test. Remember, AP HuG has a bigger percentage curve because of all the freshmen that take it, and because they’re freshman they don’t have complete brain capacity so don’t do as well as upperclass men. You’ll be fine. I used Rubensteins by the way. Oh, and learn the CRAP out of theories and models. NO ONE is expected to know all of the questions on the MC, but knowing theories helps you make stronger inferences.
It is a really easy exam. I only used R and Barrons and I got a 5, just know the models
