Post Econ Exam Thread

<p>So how did everyone do?! What did you think?</p>

<p>Macro really killed, and Micro was easy. There were so many obscure things in macro that we barely touched upon in class. I walked in there thinking I'll ace Macro and bomb Micro, and I think the opposite actually happened.</p>

<p>Ha, I'm the EXACT opposite of you. I thought I would walk in, ace Micro, and do "alright" on macro. I thought Macro was simple and I thought Micro was a little more tricky.</p>

<p>to me:</p>

<p>Macro: Straight-forward multiple choice, Medium-difficulty free response
Micro: Tricky multiple choice, free-response you really had to think about</p>

<p>Dre, what was there to think about on the micro FR? Seriously...</p>

<p>I agree that there was about 8 tricky MC</p>

<p>^^ There actually were a few things to think about on the FR.</p>

<p>yeah Micro FR was gay...Macro FR #1 with the foreign exhange market was kind of tricky too but I did it correctly.</p>

<p>I still don't get Macro #1, I'll just have to wait two days to find...</p>

<p>I thought Macro was easier- only a couple weird MC and simple FR. Micro had a few more tricky MC. The Micro FR looked hard when I first glanced at it, but it turned out to be relatively easy once I looked at it. I wasn't too sure on the last one though.</p>

<p>i completely bombed macro, i'd be surprised if i got a 4.</p>

<p>micro was alright, but maybe i just got tricked by the MC. does anyone know what the cutoffs are for the two?</p>

<p>I took macro - thought it was alright. MC was pretty easy with about 5-10 difficult ones thrown in. Very first question threw me off though; thought it was kind of mean to put c.a. first, but I came back and got it.</p>

<p>FRQ were fine. I kind of BS'd the first one to be honest and thought that one was tricky. And the second one, I think I mixed up the selling/buying of operations! All in all, I thought it was relatively easy - I even had a good 15 minutes at the end to write the College Board a nice note! : )</p>

<p>Yea the first multiple choice was weird for macro. And the over MC was hard. I had like 20 I put unsure about... And a 5 is like 70~/90. But hopefully it'll be more lenient this year.</p>

<p>Macro was easy. That could be because my teacher prepared us all VERY well. I skipped 2-3 MC... The FR was okay. I just didn't get one part of number 1 right. Hopefully, I can get a 5.</p>

<p>MC very easy
FRQs - I failed to memorize key things for the FRQs. Frankly, it was disheartening to realize that I went into my Barron's book immediately afterwards and wanted to go back into the book to change my answers.</p>

<p>wow most of you guys took both? I only took macro and thought it was okay. I had a hard time on the free response but i hope the multiple choices will bail me out.</p>

<p>Macro- I thought the MC was easy except for a few. The FRQ was a little tricky and I didn't get one of the graphs (soo many graphs!) What was with the third FRQ? It seemed easy but different from any practice FRQs I've done. Overall I think I did decently, hopefully a 3-4.</p>

<p>Macro was really easy, Micro was just as hard as I thought it would be. I probably should've started self-learning Micro more than a few days before the AP exam =.</p>

<p>Macro - MC pretty easy, 2-3 I could only narrow down to 2 answers.
FR...#1 a little tricky but I think I got it right. #3 what a piece of cake. I almost screamed for joy when I saw how easy it was.</p>

<p>I didn't think that the MC for Macro was easy at all....I studied mostly GDP, not IR.</p>

<p>MC was a piece of cake (macro), FRQ #1 i was like what? for a second, but i think i got it, i guess i have to wait 48 hrs to confirm that what i did was right.</p>

<p>Just one question, is the FR here like math where if u make a mistake in part a and carry it out through the rest of the problem (ex: you put like the supply shifts right when it was supposed to shift left (not from test, so no 48 hr violation, lol)), but that effects all ur other answers (does output inc or dec, price level inc or dec, etc.), u still get the points for parts b through the end?</p>

<p>^^ I'm pretty sure that's what happens. As long as you stay consistent. I hope is, b/c I think I said the opposite of what should've been the answer for Macro FRQ #1</p>
