Welcome to AP Human Geography!
You are one of a chosen few selected to take this class your freshmen year at Lake Region. Now I know you probably are not thinking about the next school year, but I wanted to let you in on some important information.
AP Human Geography is not just an ordinary college geography class. Human geography studies the “why” of “where” things are. For example, why is most of southeastern United States Baptist? This is just one thing we will examine in the next year.
At the end of the year you will take a standardized test. The test scores range from 1-5; a passing score is a 3 or higher. This test has no bearing on your grade for the class, but will give you college credit if you pass. (College credit depends on the college or university you attend. Each college or university reserves the right to accept a score of 3, 4, or 5.)
I look forward to the coming year. We are going to learn a lot about the world around us, and about each other.
What's an AP class like? How can taking AP help with college?
College Board:This website will answer most of your questions about an AP class and the exam. It will explain the benefits of taking a class versus a regular class. It also explains how AP classes can help with college.
