Hi I’m gonna self study the Human Geo test and I was wondering what tips would be useful to know on the test? Also I’m trying to decide between buying the Kaplan 2016 edition prep book and the 2017-2018 prep. Are the two prep books the same or should I spend the extra cash and buy the new version? Or is there a better prep book instead?
Hey! Quick question: why even self study for HGAP? It is seen to be a blow off AP class meant to ease freshman into the AP process, or as a GPA boost. Many colleges don’t even accept it as credit. I would save your money and spend it on AP classes you will take during the year, or even on SAT books to get ahead. If you are trying to pile on APs just for college, I wouldn’t do it, especially if you are doing it just to show how many 5s you can get.
That being said, Princeton is the best option for HGAP in my opinion, as it went over topics pretty in depth and accurately. If the 2017-2018 version is out, I suppose get that over 2016 just to have a newer version, but I doubt it will be “better” than the 2016 one. Best of luck!
It’s definitely doable to self study for the AP. Just go over the content and most importantly, have common sense.
