<li>Which is easier?</li>
<li>Which is easier to self-study for?</li>
<li>Is it possible to do Macroeconomics with only Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry, and without Precalculus or Calculus?</li>
<li>Which do you find more interesting?</li>
<li>I'm very involved in Politics and I'm taking a course in Politics & Economics this summer at Oxford. I've already been involved in 3 campaigns, and I'm only 15. I was wondering whether a summer course in Politics and Economics would help one of these courses. If so, which would it help more?</li>

<li>Comp Gov if you actually care, but Macro is pretty easy as well</li>
<li>Comp Gov again, but Macro isnt terribly difficult either </li>
<li>Yes</li>
<li>Comp Gov probably</li>
<li>It might help in both, but both of these are fairly easy AP’s that can be done very quickly (in my school we learned them in a quarter), for college Macro is way more useful, I don’t know of a single college that gives credit for Comp Gov</li>
</ol>
<p>Do colleges not give credit for certain APs? Is there a list of colleges that give credit for each AP? I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this!</p>
<p>It really depends on the college you are applying to, most state schools I’ve found will take almost anything, but when you get into top 30 schools, they are very picky about which AP’s they will take, for example no school takes Physics B essentially because it does not involve calculus and thus is not very useful as an intro course, you have to use calculus in upper physics. Comp Gov isn’t nearly as useful as Macro in my opinion, as Macro might get you out of intro econ courses, while Comp Gov usually won’t place you out of anything.</p>
<p>Easier? Probably comp gov and for self studying as well
I find economics to be fascinating but that’s just my opiniong.</p>
