<p>Which one is harder?</p>
<p>Which one do you prefer to take?</p>
<p>It very much depends on the individual for which one is harder. Micro is more specific and requires more memorization, while Macro is more general and requires more analysis.</p>
<p>Taking either alone is somewhat silly, but I'd pick Macro if I had to (it's more generally applicable).</p>
<p>One fee for both tests. So take em both. I found Macro harder, just because its a little more vague and I had taken a community college course in Micro, not Macro. But both are pretty easy.</p>
<p>I honestly think Macro is VERY easy in comparison to Micro.</p>
<p>However, I actually took a class for Macro. Take both, it's not hard to self study/learn.</p>
<p>I always thought that in order to understand macro, you need micro first. I could be wrong, but when I self-studied, PR made it seem that way. I originally signed up for both but took only micro because I had to self-study everything in one day. Macro couldn't be done in that time. (Micro came first in the book, and when the macro section was coming up, there was a little "quiz" on micro to see if you're ready for macro.)</p>
<p>I'm sure you'll do well on either if you prepared. I feel good about it even self-studying it in one day. I do recommend PR.</p>
<p>redhare, you're joking right?</p>
<p>I learned Macro first... no Micro knowledge needed AT ALL. However, once you know one or the other, it makes the other a little easier. Just a little.</p>
<p>The general consensus at our school is that macro is easier. But it varies from person to person, I suppose.</p>
<p>I took Macro and got pretty good grades, and I thought the AP test wasn't too bad at all. But macro requires a very thorough understanding, because alot of it is about cause and effect, so if you learn something wrong, you could mess up the whole chain of events.</p>
