AP Enviro vs AP Human Geo

FireLion · 10-06-2012, 10:33 PM

Hey guise.... (guys) I know this subj is over-discussed, but i haven't really gotten a concise answer yet. I will be self studying two ap's this yr: ap psych and ap enviro/human geo. I want to get 5 on ap psych and 4/5 (ideally 5) on the other. all i have heard are that ap enviro and ap human are about the same level in difficulty? is that true? I would like to know which one is easier to self study. I don't want to self study and get a 3.... I am taking ap bio right now, so i heard it will help with ap enviro? but truthfully, math and history are my better subj's. i dont mind a bit more memorization. SO GUYS....

WHICH IS AN EASIER SELF STUDY/ AP ENVIRO OR AP HUMAN GEO?
AND PLEASE DONT TELL ME THAT IT DEPENDS ON THE PERSON. WHICH ONE IS EASIER TO SCORE HIGH ON/ IVE LOOKED AT THE PERCENTAGES OF SCORES ON CB, THE 5 RANGE IS LOW FOR BOTH.... THANKS!!

HUMAN GEOGRAPHY, BRO! DON'T WORRY I WON'T TELL YOU IT DEPENDS ON THE PERSON.

Plus, it's interesting.

aww thanks niquii. any other ideas??? THANKS!

Human geography is easy. Plus, taking psych and env together isn't a good idea because the exams are on the same day. Some people go to schools that allow breaks in between exams and even allow you to eat. Some people can also handle 6 hours of testing; if you're one of those, go for it.

LOL Rachel.

Human geo is just some concepts. It really puts names to things that are present in our day to day lives...well other counties day to day lives. You'll like it. I think

thanks. i am def not one of those ppl lol so what is ap human geo like? i lookef at treleased frq's they look easy, but ive heard abt ppl being too confident abt ap human and then scoring a 2/3? and how do i obtain a version of The Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human Geography BY RUBENSTEIN? i heard its the best book? then barrons and PR and 5 steps right? which review book shuld i get? my school doesnt offer ap human geo

and if my school doesnt offer ap human geo, where can i take it?

Lol, well it's true. The only people I know who are not exhausted after 6 hours of tests are people on here, lol.

Barrons has the most descriptive and detailed review. The review questions are also more difficult. I use PR though for every AP, because it's a good overview and great for reading during that last month before the exam

Having taken both, I would actually recommend Enviro. Niquii's right - most of the test for APHuG is memorizing names for concepts and developmental models and stuff. Pretty easy, got a 5 after a full year course. Most of the questions on Enviro can easily be answered by thinking about the main theme of the test, aka save the earth for it is our divine mother. I self-studied for about two months for an hour or two per week my sophomore year and got a 4.

FireLion · 10-07-2012, 12:12 AM

but you got a higher human score than enviro, benfster.... tht means human easier than enviro.....
and why do u recommend enviro? ap psych and enviro are on the same days, i cant handle tht

benfster · 10-07-2012, 12:15 AM

Higher human score... after taking a full year's course. And if the days are the deciding factor, why'd you ask us in the first place?

For what it's worth, my sister (2 years ahead of me) took the Enviro test with me. She did a bit more studying, but I'm more naturally intelligent hehe. The only difference was that she had already taken AP Bio. She got a 5.

The Rubenstein is the best! (I was taught with it) Literally if you use the online quizzes and reviews you'll be set. It's easy. Just do it.
AP HuG AP HuG AP HuG AP HuG AP HuG AP HuG AP HuG AP HuG AP HuG AP HuG AP HuG AP HuG!

thanks im gonna do ap human... and i didnt know abt the test dates until some1 on here told me last night.... history's my better subj. but my school doesn't have ap human course, how do i get ahold of the rubenstein book?

Niquii77 · 10-07-2012, 11:15 AM

YES! I would suggest talking with AP HuG teacher at your school. They might list you check out a book. You could go online and buy/rent it, as well.

FireLion · 10-07-2012, 11:16 AM

my school doesnt teach the ap human course

so hve u taken ap enviro yet, niquii? and how are classes going for u

Niquii77 · 10-07-2012, 11:44 AM

I took APES last year. That class was a handful. I'll just leave it at that. Lol

My classes are going quite well. I'm losing the motivation to do my Calc and physics hw but other than that fine and dandy! How are your class treating you?
