<p>Does anyone have links to the old FRQs with answers? I was using CollegeBoard’s sample tests to prepare for the exam, and the website just went out. :(</p>
<p>harder than macro but still pretty easy in my opinion. some questions were a bit difficult, and a lot of questions you had to think for(unlike macro which was mostly definitions)</p>
<p>Micro was harder this year, but the FRQs were very easy. </p>
<p>someone make a google doc :)</p>
<p>I agree with GWU2018. Hopefully a 5 is in my future.</p>
<p>I self-studied this exam, and just finished it this afternoon. Not sure I’m feeling a 5 on this exam, but I’m hoping for at least a 3 or a 4.</p>
<p>Self-studied yesterday and expected a 3-4, but I’m absolutely confident that I got a 5! :D</p>
<p>■■■■■■ up on the first frq, fine on the rest… ■■■■■■ up on a bunch of mc too, but i think i can pull off a 5</p>
<p>SOMEONE MAKE A GOOGLE DOCS</p>

<p>Why would it be 6 units to be elastic?</p>
<p>I forgot to put that the supply curve shifted up by $2… And because of that I forgot that you just multiply quantity after tax by $2 for the government tax revenue. Instead I said “the difference in price level between the two supply curves”. Think I’ll miss 2 points? :(</p>
<p>@SaraCo It’s 6 units because that is the point at which MR crossed the x-axis.</p>
<p>Did anyone else find that negative answer for profits in FRQ 1 extremely weird, or is it more common than I thought? (I self studied and only looked at a few past FRQ’s, so my experience is fairly minimal). That definitely threw me off during the test, but I think I was still in the high 4 to low 5 range. </p>
<p>^
I think I said -$10 for economic profits. It was a bit sketchy… What did you say for deadweight loss? I said none because the damn firm was producing more than the socially optimal output O_o…</p>
<p>The MC killed me… I found the questions really simple but I ran out of time and had to bubble in C for like 6 questions. But FRQs were alright.
I’m still laughing because a lot of people at our school said there was a decrease in wage for minimum wage. Common sense escapes people sometimes.</p>
<p>Am I the only one that thought that this test was easier than the macro one?</p>
<p>@Newdle I put -$100. Because it was -$10 PER UNIT, but the monopolist was selling ten units, so the total economic profit was -$100. I also said no deadweight loss. I didn’t see how there could be since the price was set below the monopolist’s marginal cost curve…</p>
<p>I also said there was no deadweight loss, since the monopolist was not working under its capacity. But this question really tricked me up - would there still be deadweight loss because it’s not producing where D=MC?</p>
<p>THere is dead weight loss, usually its a mix of consumer and producer surplus to makes up dead weight loss, but in this question it was all producer surplus.</p>
<p>Yeah, there is deadweight loss. It was the area of the triangle beneath the Mc curve and above the D curve. So $10 I think </p>
