<p>I am about to enter Sophmore year. I am taking AP Microeconomics, AP Statistics and AP World History at the end of this year. What do you believe would be the best strategy for Studying? </p>
<p>THIS IS WHAT I HAVE HEAD:
Statistics: Practice Books and a Review of Terms and Equations that are "Memorizing"
World History: Alot of reading... My teacher does 50 hours of preparation before school so I am not worried about this one. It is alot of reading from what I hear and flashcards.
Microeconomics: I hear reading barons once or twice is all you need... IS this true? Would flash card definitions/practice problems help?</p>
<p>Deffinitly get PR for Economics. I had a Kaplan guide, it SUCKED. I stole my friends PR, read it, and got 5's on both macro and micro (self studied micro).</p>
<p>I highly, highly suggest thinking about self studying macro if you are taking micro. look at the macro material in your review book, and see if you feel confident about it. </p>
<p>I honestly thought I would get a 3, maybe a 2, on microeconomics after self studying.
got a 5! </p>
<p>and to answer your question about micro, just do well in the class. flash cards are kind of difficult for economics because it's more than terms. it's graphs and equations and such.</p>
<p>Most CC'ers sound like they do well with this strategy. I still suggest a textbook though, for any class, really. I feel like learning out of prepbooks is hard. Just my suggestion.</p>
<p>i really think it depends on the material and the class.</p>
<p>we never used a textbook in macroeconomics, and it was a semester course.
and with that and reading PR once and a crappy, old kaplan once, I got two 5's</p>
