Prep Books for Macroeconomics and Microeconomics

<p>^</p>

<p>Did you even self-study the course? If so, how many hours of preparation did you think you did?</p>

<p>Bump.</p>

<p>princeton review should be your starting point. i used kaplan afterwards and i got a five on both. be sure to do the posted frqā€™s on the college board site, because the ones in the books arenā€™t too similar to the real ones, which are pretty predictable once you do a couple.</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>That you for the response, but can you (or anybody else) tell me the net hours that you spent self-studying this and the score you got? I understand that some people say that it took 5 days or whatever, but I have no details on what exactly went on during those days (practice tests, flash cards, preparation books, textbooks, etc). Could someone please comment on this as well?</p>

<p>^I would like to know as well, so a bump for you, LoseYourself!
=)
From my research, Iā€™ve been taking notes on 5 steps to a 5</p>

<p>I wanna know too!</p>

<p>Bump for you!</p>

<p>and does anyone know how much overlap there is between the two tests?</p>

<p>Bump again.</p>

<p>Bump again!</p>

<p>@isaiahstock the only overlap is the basic concepts section, which includes things like supply and demand, comparative/absolute advantage, scarcity, etc.</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>You know anything about the hours recommend about self-studying and/or the original question posed in the original post?</p>

<p>thank you, the situation! although I donā€™t really approve of the nameā€¦</p>

<p>How good would Kaplan be as the only book to use?
I am not sure if I will be able to take the class so if I am planning in case I have to self study and this is the only book I have.</p>

<p>I would like to know that as well.</p>

<p>Come on people!</p>

<p>Seriously people?</p>

<p>I recommend 5 step to a 5 donā€™t use barrons I wasted a lot of time trying to decipher barrons and eventually gave up and switched to 5 step to a 5 and Princeton their both great books concepts sometimes take time to understand thankfully for Econ there are several YouTube vids that I repetitively watched that really helped. Micro Econ I spent the most time on just reading the book watching vids. Donā€™t try to rush read the book rather just try to understand the concepts solidly that was the mistake I made I read through the book fast and didnā€™t understand a lot of it. </p>

<p>I did not study macro Econ at all due to busy schedule and other ap I was taking til the day before. Day before I stay home and read both Princeton and 5 step to a 5 several times took all practice test and probs on both books slept at 3am woke up next day took a 5 hour energy. And scored 4s on both I highly recommend really taking ur time comprehending everything and not cram if u want 5s</p>

<p>ā€¦? Thank you for the advice, but can somebody please give me the total hours spent on this and perhaps answer some of my original questions?</p>

<p>Where are you guys?</p>

<p>Nobody on the hours?</p>
