<p>which one should i take if:
-i have a limited amount of time (as in... i'll start reading the book 3-4 weeks before the test)
-i want to get a 5</p>
<p>Macro is supposedly a better introduction to economics, so I would go with that.</p>
<p>Macroeconomics is a better introduction to the economic climate we are experiencing right now (large government intervention into the free-market). It's also a lot less quantitative (at the AP level) than the AP Microeconomics course, I thought. </p>
<p>I personally prefer AP Microeconomics to AP Macroeconomics, but that has more to do with my political alignment.</p>
