<p>It's second week of April... 2/3 weeks till the AP exams...
should I or should I not register for the ap econ exams?
they dont offer it at my school,
but I looked at the book, and theyr both pretty thin, and if i crunch in the time, I think id be able to study for them...
but does anyone have thoughts?</p>
<p>ps. im going to UNC chapel hill, and they require that I need at least a 4 to get credit for AP exams.</p>
<p>Wasn’t the registration a few weeks ago?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure AP registration is already over</p>
<p>lol i registered for them and heven’t started learning the material yet… you could probably do it</p>
<p>hmm not sure, cause my school does all that jazz for us, so we don’t have to register or pay for anything.</p>
<p>That’s typically the case if you’re enrolled in the class at your school. However, if you opted to take an exam that corresponds with an AP class that your school does not offer, then you would need to contact your school to order an additional test.</p>
<p>has anyone taken the econ tests before? is it easy>?</p>
<p>alwayslastminute what book did you look at/ plan to use the one i bought it hugeee</p>
<p>barron’s.
its like the smallest out of all AP</p>
<p>perhaps u got the one with both macro and micro?</p>
<p>I’m using Princeton Review, the Microeconomics section is 80ish pages. You could honestly read it in a weekend. I read 10-15ish pages a week and I reread the whole the Microeconomics portion over Spring Break. I got a 5 on the MC (didnt grade writing yet) and on an old AP Micro test I got a 4 on MC. Going to start macro this week.</p>
<p>You could probably read Princeton Review the week before the test and easily get a 3 on both exams. If you read a decent/good prep book plus take 2-3 practice tests you could definitely get a 4 or higher.</p>
<p>I have 5 Steps to a 5 and it seems to be sufficient in covering the material I have learned in class. I have used it to study for quizzes and tests and have had success because of it.</p>
<p>One quick question – I remember reading somewhere, I think it might have been on CC somewhere, that the payment covers both Micro and Macro exams. Is this true? I seriously doubt it, but I signed up for Micro only and I am wondering if I should have done both since it is my only AP this (junior) year and I wish I had more. Thanks.</p>
<p>I read that same thing in an old AP review book for AP US Gov. I don’t know if they do it that way anymore though. I signed up for just Micro as well, so I would also like to know this, if anyone knows.</p>
<p>That’s no longer true - CB changed its policy around 2004/5 so now you must pay two fees.</p>
<p>Okay. That’s what I figured. Thanks jablalf.</p>
