§ 6Multiple-Choice Practice
AP HuG MCQs are often stimulus-based (maps, data tables, passages). Read carefully, then answer. Explanations appear after you choose.
§ 7Free-Response Practice
Rule of thumb: every FRQ part needs a specific geographic concept + real-world example + explanation of the connection. Write your response first, then reveal the model.

Work through each stimulus with geographic thinking: scale, place, spatial patterns, diffusion processes. Sourcing data and maps is critical on the AP exam.
§ 9Long Essay Practice
The AP HuG FRQ rubric rewards: defining geographic concepts, applying them to real-world examples, and explaining spatial relationships. Use specific place names and data.
