Geography is a term that is mostly associated with how our earth is formed and how each region on this planet is different and what differentiates it from the other areas. However, there are other kinds of geographies too and human geography is just one of them. This branch deals with not just what the patterns on earth are like but also how they affect human beings. For a student opting to sit for the Advanced Placement Geography course exam, there is also the choice to study the methodologies as well as the tools utilised by the geographers. In 5 Steps to a 5 AP Human Geography, 2014-2015, students will be able to see how preparation for such an exam needs to be done. This book has been written as per the exam format and syllabus, which is why it is an ideal guide. The first thing the book does is offer the students a chance to create the most suited study schedule for themselves. As there are three options, each student will find something that is absolutely apt for them. The next obvious step would be to gauge the position of each student, vis-à-vis the actual curriculum. It is only by knowing how much one already is aware of and how much more they need to learn, that one can prepare better. There is a diagnostic test, which aids the students in figuring out just that. After the test has been completed and the students have a fair idea of how well equipped they are with the subject, they can move onto studying the actual curriculum and putting strategies and techniques into place.

The second section lasts 75 minutes and has three free response questions in it. The book has plenty of sections on the nature of geography, population studies, the trends of migration and the various cultural patterns and processes that exist across the globe.
