<p>I am self studying AP economics this year, and I will need textbooks. Can anyone suggest any? Should I get seperate texts for micro and macro, or just one which combines the two. I am planning to get a 5 on the AP exam. Also, which exam review books are the best? any advice about the course would be appreciated :)</p>
<p>My macro class is using Principles of Macroeconomics by N. Gregory Mankiw and Macroeconomics by McConnell and Brue. Of the two, I prefer the format of the Mankiw book, and according to my teacher, Mankiw is on the commitee that writes the AP test. I would recommend buying Mankiw's Principles of Economics, which covers both macro and micro. Amazon has used copies starting at $45.</p>
<p>thanks a lot</p>
