What's on the AP Human Geography Exam

  • Thinking Geographically
  • Population and Migration
  • Cultural Patterns and Processes
  • Political Patterns and Processes
  • Agriculture and Rural Land Use
  • Cities and Urban Land Use
  • Industrial and Economic Development

Why it's hard

APHG is often a 9th- or 10th-grader's first AP. The MCQ is manageable; the FRQ asks for definitions plus applications and many students score the definition but skip the application.

How Fennie helps

Fennie's Daily Plans drill the FRQ format specifically — define, explain, apply — so you're never just writing a definition when the rubric wants more.

A sample week of prep

  1. 01Mon — Demographic transition model + population pyramids
  2. 02Tue — Cultural diffusion types with examples
  3. 03Wed — Models of urban land use (Burgess, Hoyt, etc.)
  4. 04Thu — Von Thünen, Weber industrial location
  5. 05Fri — Geopolitical theories + boundaries
  6. 06Sat — Full timed FRQ section
  7. 07Sun — Review and regenerate plan

Sample only — your real Fennie plan adapts daily based on what you got wrong, what you ignored, and how close you are to test day.
