It was my freshman year of high school, and my first ever AP testing season. I still remember AP Human Geography as my first AP exam. My purpose here is not to make that decision for you, but rather provide you with the information and resources to help you make that decision. Whether AP Human Geography would be your first or last AP exam, it is important to get a grasp of how you would fare on test day so that you can make sure whether it’s worth it to muster up the courage to register for the course and then cough up the $94 for the test at the end of the year (or even $124 if you’re an international student). As with many uncertain challenges in life, the first question you may ask is “is it hard?” Students are expected to take the Geography AP test in May.For many high schoolers, AP Human Geography is often the very first AP exam – or even very first exam playing a role in the college admissions process – that students must prepare for and power through. Finally, this course will prepare students for the AP Human Geography exam. This course also fulfills the Minnesota State University System’s entrance requirement. This course will offer the opportunity to complete the Minnesota Graduation Standard for Social Studies, Human Geography. Students will study the nature and perspectives of geography, population, migration, agriculture, economic development, cultural geography, political geography and urbanization. This course provides practice in researching and discussing global issues, helps students to recognize and understand typical patterns of processes and behaviors, helps them to understand and explain statistical data, charts, graphs, and geographical documents, and expects a high quality of written analysis and interpretation. Students will learn to study efficiently, but critically, will read a large amount of written material, and will practice rigorous methods for understanding and learning facts, for creating and testing hypotheses, and for organizing, debating and evaluating concepts and theories. Students who enter this course should have the critical thinking and study skills necessary to perform and succeed at an AP level. This course is designed to have students learn and apply AP-level skills. Prerequisites: Grade level reading ability
