<p>How hard is it to self study ap micro while taking ap macro? Planning to major in econ in college, so do you guys think im better off taking the microecon course in college, or self studying it?</p>
<p>From what I hear, the class is a hell of a lot harder in college. Self-studying is easy for them...I hear the Princeton Review is enough.</p>
<p>I self-studied and I didn't find it very hard at all (but that was probably because I studied wayy more than I should have). I was using PR & Barrons at first but then I just studied from a textbook, which definitely went into a lot more depth. But I'm sure you'd be fine just using PR and/or Barrons.</p>
<p>It doesn't matter if you're taking AP Macro already or not. It could possibly only give you the tiniest advantage, but the two topics are easily done separately.
Some colleges only give credit for combined Macro and Micro scores (i.e, 8,9,10) so you would probably be better off doing Micro as well.
If you do self-study it, PR is good, although if you could get hold of a textbook that would be best.
Bear in mind that the tests are on the same day, so it could be tiring.</p>
