Advanced Placement Human Geography (also known as AP Human Geography, AP Geography, APHG, AP HuG, HGAP or AP Human) is a course and examination offered by the College Board as part of the Advanced Placement Program in the USA.
This college-level course introduces students to the systematic study of patterns and processes that have shaped human understanding, use, and alteration of Earth's surface. Students employ spatial concepts and landscape analyses to analyze human social organization and its environmental consequences. They also learn about the methods and tools geographers use in their science and practice.
AP Human Geography is a college-level course that explores how humans interact with their environment, both physically and socially. It covers topics such as population, migration, culture, political geography, and urban geography. It is a popular course for high school students interested in understanding global patterns and processes.
"The Advanced Placement Human Geography"
In AP Human Geography, concentration refers to the spatial arrangement of a phenomenon over a given area. It helps geographers analyze patterns of distribution and understand the density and clustering of certain features on the Earth's surface. Concentration can vary in terms of its level of dispersion, such as clustered, dispersed, or uniform distributions.
An example of built landscape in AP Human Geography is the urban layout and architecture of a city, such as the grid pattern of streets in Manhattan or the historic buildings of Rome. These physical features reflect human activities and cultural influences over time, shaping the way people interact with and perceive their environment.

In AP Human Geography, a random pattern refers to a spatial arrangement with no discernible order or regularity. It is characterized by a lack of predictability or repetition in the distribution of features across a landscape. Random patterns are often contrasted with organized or clustered patterns in geographic analysis.
The two major branches of geography are physical geography, which focuses on natural phenomena like landforms and climate, and human geography, which explores human populations, cultures, and activities in relation to the environment.

Depending on your will, determination, and course load will determine if you are capable of handling a human geography class as a freshman.
Most AP (Advanced Placement) classes are worthwhile, but based on the fact that you loved AP United States History, you would probably enjoy AP Human Geography the most out of the three choices you mentioned, followed by AP Psychology as a second choice.
It's spelled sophomore by the way. Here's a list of possible AP classes you can take: AP Biology AP World History AP Human Geography AP Foreign Language (level 5 &6 if you decide to go that far) **Foreign language AP classes can only be taken if you've completed levels 1-4 of the language first.**
Most people consider AP Psychology, AP Environmental Science, and AP Human Geography to be the easiest of all the AP classes.

Well, there is not an AP class for World Geography but there is one for Human Geography and it is almost the same! It is very interesting. The curriculum includes learning about world cultures, geography, populations, agricultural land use, industrialization, cities, etc.

Quizzes are difficult to come by. Your best bet is likely the full tests in the back of AP Human Geography review books that have tests similar to the national exam itself. Some things like that can be found online, but they are harder to find
I have taken AP World History and AP Human Geography and out of those two Human Geography was defiantly the easiest! I take Government and Politics Comparative next year so i can't help you there. Government and Politics is not an AP class, so it will be much easier. I took AP Human Geography last year and am taking AP World History this year, so I can tell you that both require a lot of work. Human Geo is more wierd. It is generally taken by freshmen who have not experienced an AP class before, which makes it even harder for those students. However, it is not impossible. With long hours of studying, I aced the class and got a 5 on the AP exam. World History requires more memorization. The type of work varies a lot depending on the teacher. It is gnerally taken by sophomores, so it is in theory harder than AP Geo.
You should expect your first test on Chapter One for AP Human Geography to cover all the material in Chapter One, plus any material your teacher brings in to clarify the material covered in the chapter.
Do you like Art? If so you may like the class. If not you probably will not like it. Either way people will be impressed with how cultured you are.
