<p>I haven't seen any international economics questions on the Micro MC i just took...</p>
<p>That seems to be more of a macro based topic?</p>
<p>Anyways, I used Kaplan for Econ as well... I just skimmed over the micro and took a practice test.</p>
<p>I'll get some sleep now haha</p>
<p>good luck to you guys</p>
<p>the first line in the kaplan book about international economics is: We now turn to the macroeconomic implications..." -- so i just skipped it since i'm doing micro. </p>
<p>and then i looked at the princeton review book and the first few lines of the micro revew are: Perhaps the easiest and most concise review of economic concepts is the economics cheer. The cheer is a series of body positions accompanied by the chanting of economic concepts to help you learn the essential. It might not help you understand the meaning behind the graphs, but it will remind you what they look like. ...The cheer is easy to learn and is performed by making the shapes of difference curves w/ your body." <-- i thought that was entertaining after such a boring review from kaplan because i was thinking cheer? what...? - it brightened my day</p>
<p>I think the best reviews are just textbooks, because the subject is pretty straightforward</p>
<p>my friend thought elastic demand was perfectly vertical, and I looked at his cliffnotes and it had that error in it. Those errors don't make there way into text books, and atleast at the fundamental level they could really screw you over.</p>
<p>However, if you're crammed for time, PR or Kap is the way to go.</p>
<p>it was so easy</p>
<p>wow what a joke of an AP</p>
<p>There was a LOT of international stuff, which I'm guessing they're going to stress more from now on.</p>
<p>Anyway, it wasn't bad. I plastered at least 20 graphs on the FR. Haha.</p>
<p>lol i didn't realize micro and macro were two sepearte tests until today </p>
<p>imagine my face when i realized it was 6 hours of testing instead of 3</p>
<p>totally dom'ed it dude</p>
<p>question. is form B of the micro test usually harder/easier or about the same?</p>
<p>wow macro exam was definitely the easiest i took this year!!! FR: lol what a joke!</p>
<p>I totally think I got a 1 on micro. I took the class last semester, didn't understand it very well but still got an A, and never looked at the stuff again. I ended up writing letters to the readers in the free response questions because I couldn't even figure out where to start. All but three of the other students taking it with me, though, just looked at the questions and turned it back in without answering them. Our econ teacher never really did a great job teaching us and we just didn't have the energy to study for this on our own. Since I'm not taking any econ in college, I was especially against studying.</p>
<p>Macro was easy but Micro was bit hard for me b/c I just skimmed over the last 2 chapters this morning.</p>
<p>Most people in our school agree Micro was a joke while macro was a killer...</p>
<p>My school forgot to order an AP for me becuase I self studied even though I paid. But I get an extra whole week (May 19th) to study up more on Macro. It was a win win situation!</p>
<p>the easiest exams ever... even easier than psychology O_O</p>
<p>Hmm. I kinda decided on a whim to learn Macro and Micro in less than a month...the tests were pretty easy. I got really tired for Micro for some reason and will end up at least a four. But I'm pretty sure I fived the Macro.
Kaplan's review book was actually really good - in case anybody is interested. The PR one's ok, but, didn't use it because it reviews frivolous contents that you should already know for certain for the test. Kaplan target the main stuff with simplicity. Barron's just boring.</p>
<p>I agree. My Kaplan book (2005) was very nice. It's all I used and I thikn i got a 5 on micro.. :D</p>
<p>Def. one of the exams that was so easy to get thru...i had so much time after the frqs....</p>
<p>I left with about 25 minutes left on FR questions, which made me happy as i went home and collapsed in bed after having double AP sessions for the week</p>
<p>i wrote the phillips curve wrong... but i know what it is and i explained it 100% in my description. everything else i'm pretty sure i received full credit for on the frqs. Increased demand for currency results in appreciation, right?</p>
<p>How well do you have to do on the frqs to get a 4 or 5 on the test?</p>
