<p>I’m a freshman in highschool, and I just wanted to know how hard it’s going to be. I know it all depends on the teacher and your skills . I’m very good at memorizing, on Friday I memorized what formal, functional, and vernacular regions are. No lie!</p>
<p>Formal regions are also called Uniform regions, it’s an area which everyone shares one or more distinctive characteristics.
Functional regions are also called nodal regions, it’s an area organized by a node or focal point.
Vernacular regions are also called Perceptual regions, it’s an area that people think is significant due to it’s cultural identity.</p>
<p>Did i get it right? Of course I’m not entirely sure what it means, but I can memorize it. Lolz What the heck is a node? Or a focal point? </p>
<p>Next year I was thinking of taking AP Psychology(since everyone says it’s the easiest crap ever), Biology, and World History. Can you rank them easiest to hardest, depending on your opinion?</p>
<p>Human geo is easy.i was supposed to take it sophomore year but I didn’t so I’m taking it this year.
Easiest to hardest would be: human, pysch, bio, world</p>
<p>Lol, you got all of the regions down. Just make sure that you actually understand, instead of just memorizing. Understanding is going to be key in the majority of the multiple choice questions, especially when it comes time to learn theories and patterns. I think you’ll be fine, it’s not a super hard course (as long as you actually work :p)</p>
<p>I think it will be challenging enough so that it is doable as the first AP class for a freshmen…and not something extremely unrealistic for a first AP class. That being said, AP USH was my first AP class in 10th grade and I still managed to get a solid 4 with a B in the class, so any of them are doable.</p>
<p>I took the class last year as a freshman. I had 2 teachers (one of them took maternity leave) which made it harder but not extremely hard. If you understand the material, you will do fine in the class and probably pass the AP Exam. I had a mid-A in the class (93-94%) and ended up with a 4 on the Exam. The key to the class is being able to conceptualize the world as it was 50 years ago while at the same time imagining what the world looks like now and why it looks that way. You also must understand the events prior to the modern world and how they helped to shape The Cultural Landscape. (I should get brownie points for that :D)
In short, read/study and you’ll do fine.</p>
<p>Back when i was a freshman, it was the hardest class I had ever taken. Now that I’m a senior, I laugh at freshmen complaining about how ap human, their only ap class, is the hardest thing in the world. </p>
<p>While it’s not the toughest class, it’s still a difficult class for many high schoolers. Just remember to read the book, and you’ll be ok.
:)</p>
<p>AP HUG is a joke. Even its acronym is “hug” – hug for the friendliness, the familiarity, the luuuuuuuuuuuuv… like a kind mother caressing you before letting you leave the nest and see how horrible the rest of the world (i.e. the harder ap tests/classes) can be.</p>
<p>World history shouldn’t be too hard. From what I’ve heard, biology is a lot easier than it used to be… but still very hard. Psychology is just vocab.</p>
<p>HG is easy. However, it’s going to be much harder than classes in middle school, probably, on top of the fact that you’ll generally have a much heavier work load this year than in the past. Also, memorization will get you a 3 and may even get you a 4, but it won’t get you a 5! There are only so many points you get, even on a rubric-based grading system, for regurgitating places and vocabulary. Application of ideas to history and the economy are absolutely necessary as well. Not saying you aren’t intelligent, OP, but a freshman generally doesn’t have much experience with the critical analysis and writing skills necessary to really secure a 5. It might be tough.</p>
<p>hahaha no not at all. i didn’t really learn anything and nor did i really study, maybe like the week before, but i managed to scrap a 5 (and i didn’t even complete the multiple choice!). it’s probably the easiest ap test-and class, but that really depends on how your teacher is.</p>
