AP Economics Self-Study 2011

<p>Hello, I'd like to self-study one or both of the AP Economics exams next year.</p>

<p>First, I'll be studying for at least 8 other AP exams, 4 of which I'll be taking the class for (English Language, Statistics, Environmental Science, U.S. Government) and 4 of which I'll be self-studying (Calculus BC, Chemistry, Comparative Government, Psychology). Should I take one AP Economics exam this year and the other one in my senior year, or is it possible to take both in the same year?</p>

<p>If you think it's best to take only one next year, which is the easier of the two: Micro- or Macro-?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Considering the overlap, I would recommend taking both econ tests in 1 year.
And as for which test is easier, it really depends, as micro focus on applying a few concepts while macro is heavy in memorization.</p>

<p>However, I would not recommend self-studying the econ tests on top of calc+chem (those are some heavy tests to self-study) unless you have a certain extend of previous knowledge in those subjects.</p>
