<p>For Macro I would suggest going through the chapters and making general theory notes. I don't do AP Macro, but I do the IB course and its almost all theory. Once you get that done its all easy.</p>

I'll try the reading out loud / taking own notes because my teacher isn't too good at that thing they call teaching.

<p>That always is a pain, I know how you feel...The most significant thing that you need to realise from high school is that learning the material you cover to perfection is of utmost importance. That doesn't mean memorising formulas and physics definitions, but rather interpreting the material initially, and then learning the formulas/definitions through practise questions. Do not stress so much about scores, because they will come if you know the required material well enough.</p>
