Hi everyone! I'm taking AP Human Geography and was wondering if someone could recommend a study guide? There are many out there, but I'm not sure which ones are actually helpful. Thanks!
Absolutely, I'd be happy to recommend a couple of study guides for AP Human Geography that you might find useful:
1. "The Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human Geography" by James M. Rubenstein is a textbook rather than a traditional study guide, but it's often the go-to resource for many AP Human Geography students. It covers the topics in a clear and comprehensive manner, making it a great reference both for initial understanding and later review.
2. The "Princeton Review's Cracking the AP Human Geography Exam" is another excellent resource. It includes not only great content reviews and chapter summaries, but also useful strategies for answering the different types of questions you'll encounter on the exam, from multiple-choice to free-response. An added bonus is that it also includes plenty of practice tests.
3. "Barron's AP Human Geography" is also a renowned revision guide known for its thorough content reviews and assessments. It utilizes various diagrams to explain geographical concepts, which can be helpful if you're a visual learner.
4. Also, don't forget about free online resources like Khan Academy or even YouTube tutorials! These can be especially beneficial for reinforcing concepts you learned in class or explaining challenging topics in a new way.
Remember that the key to success in AP exams is to not only understand the concepts but also to practice answering questions. Practice tests and quizzes will not only help you get used to the test format but would also help you identify areas where you need more revision. Good luck with your studies!
