Hey everyone, I'm trying to practice for the AP Human Geo exam and was wondering if you guys had any good examples of FRQs I could use to test myself? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! It's great that you're practicing for the AP Human Geography exam. One of the best resources for FRQ (free-response question) examples is the College Board website itself. They provide actual past FRQs from previous exam years, along with scoring guidelines and samples of high-scoring student responses.
Here are a few FRQ examples from past exams to give you an idea of what you might encounter:
1. (2021) Explain one reason why countries establish exclusive economic zones (EEZs).
2. (2020) Identify and explain one way that advancements in transportation technology are changing popular culture.
3. (2019) Discuss one negative and one positive impact of devolution on a country's political stability.
Remember, you can access the full list of released FRQs, along with their scoring guidelines, by visiting the College Board AP Human Geography Exam page (search "AP Human Geography free-response questions" in your browser).
In addition to practicing with past FRQs, it can be helpful to utilize online resources, such as Fiveable or CollegeVine, which offer free AP preparation materials, including study guides and practice questions.
Best of luck with your preparation, and I hope this helps!
