The Course
    An introductory college course in human geography is generally one semester in length, with some variation among colleges and universities. AP Human Geography, at A&M Consolidated High School  is taught as a yearlong course following the curriculum set out by the National Development Committe for the College Board. The aim of the AP course is to provide students with a learning experience equivalent to that obtained in most college-level introductory human geography courses. We also incorporate the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) requirements in order for our students to receive Social Studies credit towards graduation from high school.

The Purpose
    The purpose of the AP Human Geography course is to introduce students to the systematic study of patterns and processes that have shaped human understanding, use, and alteration of Earth’s surface. Students learn to employ spatial concepts and landscape analysis to examine human socioeconomic organization and its environmental consequences. They also learn about the methods and tools geographers use in their research and applications.

The Exam
    The AP Human Geography Exam is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes in length and includes both a 60-minute multiple-choice section and a 75-minute free-response section. Each section accounts for half of the student’s AP Exam score.  By scoring well on the exam a student may recieve college credits; however, you are not required to take the National Exam.
