Is AP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY Hard?

+Everything you need to CRUSH this course and exam!

Is AP Human Geography hard? Well, it's depends on how you define it and what factors you consider. But if you're scared of your first AP course, don't even worry: Heimler's got you!

I took this course last year, along with AP Euro. I would say comparative to Euro, the material in the class was considerably easier to learn and memorize, but that's not to say that the class wasn't hard. I was unlucky enough to get a very strict and harsh teacher for class, which was both agonizing for the majority of the year and helpful, as it allowed me to easily get a 5 on the AP exam.
For anyone taking the class next year:
-Always take notes so that you can reference them when studying for the AP exam
-Don't stress about the AP test at least until the spring, focus on the actual class for the time being
-Watch youtubers like Heimler's History and Mr. Sinn to help study for both the class and the test
-Once you are studying for the test, maybe go over the urbanization unit yourself because a lot of teachers (including mine) tend to run out of time and skip that unit
-And lastly, try to enjoy it. AP Human Geo was one of the most interesting and engaging classes that I've ever taken. It can be a little bit stressful at times, and you definitely will struggle, but putting yourself in a position where you WANT to continue learning about the subject will by far be the best thing you can do to prepare yourself.

as a senior taking aphug for fun im so excited that you're making videos for it, loved your apush videos last year 🤞

This was a great course, and as a freshman, seeing a 3 in July was a great moment for me. So, for anyone taking APHuG, pay attention and study, and you'll do just fine 😁

I graduated this year and took APHUG last year as a senior and got a 5. I took APWH freshman year (got a 4 but that was 2020) and took APUSH junior year and got a 5. APHUG was definitely the easier of those classes. If you are a freshman that wants to take other AP History classes, human geography is not the same thing but it is definitely an interesting class and a good first AP to take. It teaches you to think from a different perspective and although the test is hard, it is significantly shorter than a lot of the other tests. Main advice is to internalize all the vocab, because the multiple choice questions are all super vocab centric and to stick with Heimler as he makes videos for this course. His APUSH videos were incredibly helpful study tools for me junior year. Good luck in the school year!

Hey Heimler! I took AP World last year as my first AP, and I was able to score a 5 on the exam! Your ultimate review packet was super useful for studying! Thank you so much! Good luck to all students taking AP World and all other history classes!

Woahhh, perfect timing Heimler!!! Last year I took AP Euro and AP US Gov. Got a 4 in Euro and 5 in Gov thanks to your videos. I’m planning on taking AP MWH and AP Human Geo this year so I’ll definitely be looking forward to the videos. Thank you so much Heimler, a big hug from Puerto Rico!! 🇵🇷😁

I took AP Human Geo as a freshman and got a 5! I was lucky to have a great teacher who knew the content and was able to keep my attention, but my tips are to take thorough notes by hand, and type them out later on a computer! I also made Blookets for vocabulary and used those. Hope these tips help!

[ridleyosborne]

I’m so glad you’re doing APHUG!! I’m taking the class this semester so hopefully i’ll be able to catch some videos before my unit 1 test in about 2 weeks. If not, i can at least review with them before my exam in May! Your videos were the only thing that got me through AP GOV last year!!

This class was tough at the beginning for me since it was the first AP class i took as a sophomore (I took AP gov along with it and i struggled throughout the first two quarters), but after you get more practice done, the class is incredibly fun! I would recommend doing a lot of Kahoots and watching videos from Heimler and Mr Sinn, because they are great resources for this class.
GL!

I'm self studying for aphug this year as a senior, so happy you're making videos for the subject this year Mr. Heimler 😭💙

Wow so glad you're going to now be doing Ap Human Geography. I personally took it as a freshman, and it was difficult, mostly due to the fact that it was my first AP course. Looking back, it wasn't too difficult and I was very close to getting credit. The class itself is very interesting. I used to get my information from Mr.Sinn but so glad that now we have you aswell, so we can have many sources to get information from.

If you're stressing for this class, DON'T. Seriously. I just finished taking this class recently (am now a sophomore and took it in 9th) and I thought it was so hard for my first AP class. When doing pretests to prepare for the exam I got three 50's in a row and a couple of C's on quizzes and tests throughout the year. I only started studying for the exam in April by watching videos and scored a 4. So if I turned out okay, you will be too :)

[davidevans]

as a rising senior that took aphug freshman year. if you have the option definitely take this class. even if you don’t like history this class is fun. it also gets you ready for ap classes in the future

[Spik_]

As a upcoming 9th grader than you for this and i will be following along for the help! Thanks so much

[andrewlin]

I’m not taking AP human geography. I love geography and loved your APUSH and AP Euro videos. I’m excited to watch these!

[Zman]

As an 8th grader who LOVES geography, I’m really excited for this class. I met the teacher for the class yesterday at an expo night at the highschool I’m going to. He seems cool and I’m looking to it.

[Iavenderhazes]

im starting ap human 2nd semester just for fun (i’m a sophomore who’s also taking apush) so your channel is about to be a LIFESAVER for me

[Prez-rzyi]

It’s a lot easier than most other AP’s, and for a freshman, its definitely a good entrance AP. There’s just a lot of info and you need to understand various theories and models and how they relate. The good news is that it also teaches skills for future classes like APUSH, especially with writing skills and time management. I got a 5.

[imadeanaccountjusttodothis]

Me, a junior, only self-studying this because Heimler's making videos on it
