<p>My school doesnt offer a specific AP Econ course, just a generic Econ Honors, and I think with a little extra self-study, I could attempt an AP exam. I just dont know weather to study for Macro or Micro. Is there a big, huge difference (in difficulty level, subject matter, prestige, exc.)? Any advice would be welcome!</p>
<p>from my friends who took it last year - macro is easier than micro</p>
<p>i've only taken macro in 1st semester so far - but it seems really easy</p>
<p>Econ is an easy course... It's mostly just common sense half the time. You should be fine with whichever you choose. If possible, you should try to do both. I plan on doing that.</p>
<p>What is the diffrence between the two?</p>
<p>Macro looks at the economy as a whole (employement, inflation...), micro just looks at specific parts of it focusing on companies, consumers, and markets... I think</p>
<p>Actually, Macro deals with the economy of a nation, while Micro deals with the economy of a business or enterprise. They are both very closely related because the topics that Micro deals with contribute to the bigger picture that Macro paints.</p>
<p>thanks for the help!</p>
