AP Human Geography Flashcards (Barron's AP)

A good way to review. It comes with a ring so you can pull out just the cards you need to work on.

The set I ordered is missing at least 3 cards and the ring that holds the cards together. We realized the set was missing cards after the return window closed.

I want to preface this review with the fact I took a lot of AP classes in high School, had a perfect score on my ACT, 1580 on SAT when it was hard, and was a National Merit Scholar. I bought these for my kids to help study for their AP GEO. These cards were the worst study cards I’ve ever seen. The grammar was awful, the subject coverage was poor, and they were not organized across themes. They were a complete waste of card stock and my time. I apologized to my son. The cards were returned. They are either a scam or Barrons has been scammed. DO NOT BUY these.

I ordered these fourth edition cards for my second child to take this AP class. I helped my older child study with the third edition and they were quite helpful. But the new version has all the terms in alphabetical order instead of in the order you’d learn them in a class.We all know as a practical matter that some of the concepts in the cards is a review and some of it was not covered in class at all and is new when studying for the exam. (All depends on what your teacher covered.) So it makes no sense to have the concepts in alphabetical order, where you might encounter a term first and then some of the background terminology related to it a little later. And who wants to try to re-order the cards themselves? What a huge pain.Also, sometimes I also encounter a card with terms that are alphabetically similar but the terms themselves aren’t really that related. It’s like the people who came up with the terms and information and the people who put them into cards were not coordinating at all.All that said, flash cards are still a decent way to study for the AP exam. It’s easy to work on a few concepts at a time and not feel overwhelmed. And knowing the terminology is a really good foundation for the AP exam. I think it’s a good idea to do some practice questions, but learning the vocabulary is a good first step to studying. If anyone is aware of another brand of flash cards, please comment. I would definitely like to try those next time.

It didn't come with a ring to hold them and they are too bulky to carry without one!

These flash card helped my daughter a lot on her test. The cards contain useful information and help for test review.

Great price! Fast delivery! Helpful for my high school daughter!
