<p>Hi I would like to know what ap macro/micro textbook was used by people who received a 4/5 on the exam, or think they did well on this year's exams. Same deal with comparative government. What textbook did you guys use? I am self-studying these exams next year and would like to know what the best textbooks/materials are for these respective subjects. Responses very much appreciated!</p>

<p>I didn't take AP Econ, but my friends at another school use Mcconnell's book, Economics. I think 17th edition. Im not sure if they used an AP prep book.</p>

<p>For Comparative govt, which i didnt take either, I've seen people use ethel wood's study guide for the AP exam, though I dont know if they used a text book mainly cuz they self studied.
For comp. govt. they test you on the government on certain countries.</p>
