curriculum note

This video was recorded for the 2020 AP exam, which had a modified format due to COVID-19 (FRQ only, no MCQ, and Units 6–7 were removed from that year's test). The current AP Human Geography exam includes both MCQ and FRQ sections and covers all units, so references to 'urban geography is not on the exam' and the two-FRQ-only format are outdated.
