Economics

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>Ok, so I never took economics before, and all my school has is a lame senior elective. However, I think I may like it so thought I might want to self-study one this year and one next year (maybe both this year if I'm adventurous).</p>

<p>I found a free online text to Glencoe's Economics: Principles and Practice
Should I buy a different book?</p>

<p>Also, I have NO experience of economics except a little basic terms from Global Class (think Industrial Revolution and Adam Smith and stuff). Will a basic text and a good review book (which?) earn me a 5?</p>

<p>I've selfed Euro and easily got a 5 with little prep.</p>

<p>Any other advice?
How hard/time-consuming would all the matierial be? I don't wasn to spend TOO much time on this- it's more of an interest/thing. Because I decided music theory is going to wait a year.</p>

<p>Thanks

<p>Also- if I had to choose one- which is easier/recommended first- Macro or Micro?</p>

<p>Anyone? Just curious. . .</p>

<p>Is it something I said?</p>

<p>Micro is an expansion of (and builds on) Macro. I am taking both APs using the 15e of McConnell and Brue's Economics.</p>

<p>Thank you. I think I may get another text; however, this one is free. . .</p>

<p>You see I'm concerned because I have never actually taken an Economics class. . .</p>

<p>it's not hard...i like economics cuz everything is graphs and concepts. i didnt memorize much cuz i just drew the graphs and got the answer from looking at it. </p>

<p>I like this website <a href="http://reffonomics.com/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://reffonomics.com/&lt;/a>
our teacher used it to prepare us for the AP test and half of our class got 5's</p>

<p>Does Micro really build on Macro? In both our intro course and the IB econ course in high school Micro is taught before Macro.</p>
