This book is an excellent resource to reinforce the classroom teaching. My kids often refer to this book when they have a question or as they prepare for their regular exams, as well as in preparing for the AP Exams in May.
This book was a good length and explained concepts concisely. Some of the information was unnecessary for the exam, like the different kinds of map projections, but the book did a good job of emulating the actual exam. It was better overall than other review books.
This book really helped me do well in the class and helped me pass the AP test. The reason why i only gave it 3 stars was because my friend had th kaplan 2009 one and it was alot more descriptive like it had a number 5 scored essay it was also alot bigger. Though the thing is I got a 4 while my friend who bought the kaplan got a 3 and she had a better overall average in this AP class than I did. So get this to pass and understand better but if you need major help in this subject spend a little more and buy the kaplan.
This is honestly the best AP Human Geography study guide I can find, and it is SERIOUSLY worth every penny!!!
If you're going to take the exam (or even if you aren't but are taking the class) I recommend that you get a copy of this book!
If you don't have the previous edition it is a good buy...if you do have a previous edition, not many changes.
