APGEO: Spring Break AP Test Prep Assignments

ONE MONTH until the AP exam – your chance to save thousands of dollars by earning free college credit, demonstrate what you’ve learned this year, and compete against other advanced students across the country.  You need to use part of spring break to prepare for the exam.  The reward, in addition to a better exam grade, will be no AP homework for at least a week after the exam.
Please be ready to take the Urban Geography vocabulary quiz (based on the glossaries at the back of both urban geography readings) Friday the week you return.
I will give you two full take-home AP exams.  Please complete each of these, including the FRQs, as best you can.  You can use all readings and notes from throughout the year to assist you or check your answers; I will grade the tests for accuracy when you return. (Average score of two m.c. tests = 50 point assignment; average score of 6 FRQs = 50 point assignment.  Both assignments are due the day you return from break.)
Please also list 5-10 questions on each test that you have a lot of difficulty with or feel “lost” when trying to answer.  We will go over these together in class.
Read through at least half of your test prep book over break.  Refer to it when you come across a concept or vocabulary term you don’t understand.  Focus on units and concepts that you are not 100% comfortable with.  As a reminder, here are the units covered on the test: Basic Geo., Population & Migration, Cultural Geo., Agricultural Geo., Economic Geo., Political Geo., and Urban Geo.
Your final exam in AP Human Geography will be Tuesday, 5/10, and it will consist of a real AP test covering all units from the entire year.  Consider 5/10 your final deadline for review.
Have fun, and good luck!  You can reach me by email if you have any questions.
