curriculum note

This video was recorded during the 2020 COVID-era exam period and describes an outdated exam format (a 45-minute online-only test with 2 FRQs and no MCQ section, covering only Units 1–5). The current AP Human Geography exam has returned to its standard format with both MCQ and FRQ sections covering all units.
