§ 6Multiple-Choice Practice

AP Human Geography MCQs are stimulus-based: maps, data tables, or short passages. Read the stimulus carefully, then answer. Explanations appear after you choose.

§ 7Free-Response Practice (SAQ-style)

Rule of thumb: every FRQ part needs a claim + specific geographic evidence + explanation of the connection. Write the response first, then reveal the model.

§ 8Stimulus-Based FRQ Practice

Work through each document/stimulus and analyze: spatial patterns, scale of analysis, cause and effect. Sourcing geographic data properly is key to earning full credit.

§ 9Extended FRQ Practice

The FRQ rubric rewards: a defensible claim, geographic evidence (at least two specific examples), spatial reasoning, and connections across scales (local to global).

§ 10Key Sources & Data

The geographic data, models, and case studies most likely to show up as MCQ stimuli or FRQ prompts for this unit.
