AP Human Geography is an introductory college-level human geography course. Students cultivate their understanding of human geography through data and geographic analyses as they explore topics like patterns and spatial organization, human impacts and interactions with their environment, and spatial processes and societal changes. The exam is 2 hours and 15 minutes long and includes 60 multiple-choice questions and 3 free-response questions. Starting with 2021 the examination will have following question types:

Section I: Multiple Choice

60 Questions | 1 Hour | 50% of Exam Score

There will now be increased emphasis on analyzing quantitative and qualitative sources in both individual and set-based multiple-choice questions:

5–8 sets will each include 2–3 questions with a quantitative or qualitative source.
At least 1 of these sets will include a paired set of sources.

Section II: Free Response

3 Questions | 1 Hour 15 Minutes | 50% of Exam Score

Task and stimulus types will stay consistent from year to year, with the following focus for each of the three questions:
1. Describe, explain, apply geographic situation or scenario (no stimulus)
2. Describe, explain, apply geographic data using data, image, or map (one quantitative or qualitative source)
3. Describe, explain, apply geographic data using data, image, and/or map (two sources, qualitative and/or quantitative)

Each free-response question will now be worth 7 points.
