<p>Does anyone know what the suggested textbooks are for either of the AP economics courses? It is my plan to self-study for one of the two. I am currently taking a one semester course in economics using the book "Economics: Principles in Action" I wonder if I will be able to use this book to study for the exam as well or if I will need something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>The AP Economics textbooks most high schools use is "Economics" by McConnell and Brue.</p>
<p>I'm currently in the class and strongly urge you NOT to use the textbook alone. Unless you're a 700+ SAT verbal scorer, the text will give you nothing but headaches and sleep because it tends to be very very dense. </p>
<p>Instead, I highly recommend the Princeton Review's "AP Economics."</p>
<p>While PR has a nice book for review, if you're self-studying, I recommend Barron's AP Economics.</p>
<p>I strongly recommend one of Mankiw's texts.</p>
<p>He writes concisely yet precisely. Plus, all of his texts are very easy on the eyes.</p>
