How do you get a 5 on the AP human geography exam?

Answer 1

First off, you shouldn't wait until the last week. As soon as you know you're in the class you should get a Baron's AP Human Geography book. Then set aside some time to completely read the book and have it done a month before the test. While reading, some how make reference to EVERY vocabulary word and EVERY model and concept. Be sure to know different names for vocabulary and who made the models as well, apparently there was a difficult question on the CRQ's in 2008 because it referenced the model's maker instead of the models name. However, it was discussed by a few teachers and students afterwards and those students who didn't use logic to find out how the model referenced by name was similar to the model referenced by maker felt stupid in front of a bunch a friends who used logic. During the last month, do reviews.

You should not completely study by yourself. Make sure to pay attention to your teacher and do exactly as they ask. This way you get the same knowledge twice so you can learn it better.

Another good thing to do is to take a practice test. My teacher had one, so I imagine your teacher should have one also. Once you finish and have the correct answers, go through and "justify" why the answers are correct. This way, you can know why some of the ones you guessed on are right.

The week before the test do a bit of physical activity (although you should do that already anyway :P) and get a good nights rest. The most important night is TWO nights before the test, and the second most important is the night before the test. Don't overload on your studying either. Cramming is not the best idea if you have actually prepared. However study that way that is the most effective for you, but find out that by taking a practice test as serious as the real thing.

Good Luck!

Memorize every person and the theories they have, memorize all vocab, know everything about Europe and the US, including religion, migration patterns, agriculture, city patterns. Know some examples for each vocab. Read everything in Barron's AP Human Geography Book. Also, if you do not know how to write the essay, use common sense and just babble. They won't take points off because its wrong; you can get some points if you guess something correct.
