I’m planning on self studying Micro and Macro this year. However, I have a really outdated book from 2008-2009 and I was wondering if APMicro and Macro have changed from 2008 till now.
Also, does anyone have any good review book suggestions for someone who is self-studying micro/macro?
Thanks
I don’t think either of the tests have changed significantly since then, but if you’re looking to get a new review book I recommend Princeton Review’s lastest edition! I took both exams this year and it helped me out a lot.
I also recommend the Barrons study guide for both Micro and Macro. It covers all of the topics. Although the exams are actually much easier than your review books will have you believe, it is always good to be prepared and to really know the material. I’m not sure if you will remember this, and this is by no means a complete list, but make sure to know inside and out the following topics:
Micro:
-basic supply and demand curve
-consumer and producer surplus/price floors/ceilings
-monopoly and price discrimination
-game theory/oligopoly/prisoners dilemma/nash equilibrium
Macro:
-money supply curve
-aggregate supply/demand/full potential curves graph
-foreign exchange graph
-loanable funds curve
-philips curve
