<p>@ Custardapple101: I don’t think there’s much difference between prep books that have been published only 1 year apart. </p>
<p>Is it possible to get a 5 on both AP micro and macro with prep books alone? Textbooks are too expensive, but I’m willing to study hard anyways.</p>
<p>I found Mankiw’s Principle’s of Economics online for about 10$ used. I think it’s a couple years old but should still be good.</p>
<p>i have both 5 steps to a five and pr. i remember some people reccomending one book for macro and one for micro, does any1 have any comments about these books and which is better for each test?</p>
<p>Oh, 5 steps to five, looks like is preety good. I heard the question are harder next year.-_-</p>
<p>AvidStudent; you self studied ?</p>
<p>I hope to do this. But now that the school year has started, I don’t know if I’ll have time.</p>
<p>Is there anything crucial that is covered in a textbook but not in review books? I think I can handle review books, but I seriously doubt I’ll have the time to get through a textbook. I have 5 Steps to a 5 right now and I might get Princeton Review too.</p>
<p>Bump…</p>
<p>Which text book is more suitable for self-studying AP Micro:
Principles of Economics or Principles of MICROeconomics. Both by Mankiw.
So does the latter one go into more details or something?</p>
<p>Principles of Microeconomics is just the Microeconomics chapters of Principles of Economics.</p>
<p>1) You guys don’t necessarily need a textbook. I did both with a review book alone and got 5 on each. If you want one, go ahead and get it, but I think it’s just more to study.</p>
<p>2) It doesn’t matter if the test gets harder. The curve will adjust itself to match the intensity of the test.</p>
<p>3) 5 Steps to a 5 is my recommendation.</p>
<p>I’m going to start studying for Macro and Micro (self-studying) tonight I think. </p>
<p>I bought Principles of Economics and, once finished, I’ll review with 5 Steps to a 5 or PR in April/May. From what I’ve been told, PR (or 5 Steps) + Mankiw is enough to get a 5 on both Macro and Micro.</p>
<p>Any other good prep books besides Princeton Review?</p>
<p>Hey guys, I just started a one semester macro class at my school. Do you think it would be possible for me to self-study Micro and take the Macro class and get 5’s on both exams in May?</p>
<p>I’ll be self studying both next year. Is Principles of Economics of the best textbook to get? Does it matter which edition? I’m a solid supporter of using textbooks and review with prep books.</p>
<p>ohhh snap.</p>
<p>crunch time (aka actual learning time), has finally come</p>
<p>Hey guys!
I’m self studying macro this year and was wondering if there were any efficient study techniques/habits?
Thanks!</p>
