Should I take the AP Human Geography Exam without taking the class?

<p>I was wondering if it is wise to take the AP Human Geography Exam without taking the class. I would learn from a review book and review book flashcards, and basically learn the information just by myself. I am really good at geography as is, and know almost the entire world map. Also, I'm a history person, and love everything about geography. I am currently enrolled in APUSH, AP Bio, and AP English, so I think I have proper experience and will now how to study for it. However, I am wondering if anyone out there took it before with out taking the class(the class isn't offered at my high school) and could help me out?</p>

<p>I agree with the above poster; study the subject if you want, but don’t take the exam unless the schools you’re interested in will give credit for it.</p>

<p>AP Human Geography is considered one of the easiest APs. It’s also the AP exam taken by the most freshmen. I think it would be no problem to self-study.</p>

<p>When my daughter took it, she used the Ethel Wood review book and recommends it.</p>

<p>However, HuG is a lot more than knowing the world map. Physical geography is a very small portion of the test. I’d look at a review book or at the material on the College Board website to get a better idea of what’s actually on the test.</p>
