<p>So I ordered a 5 steps book for AP Macro/Micro and it just came today. Those of you who have selfed micro/macro: how was it? what did you use [textbooks, prepbooks]? how did you do?</p>
<p>5 steps was good. I also used Kaplan, but 5 steps by itself can probably get you a 5 on macro if you study well. Micro is very easy and 5 steps will definitely suffice.</p>
<p>AP Micro is an absolute joke, you can pull a 4 or 5 with a few hours. Listen, buy the older econ texts on Amazon for like a few dollars each and you can figure all the material out. Go on the college board site and just study each topic on the syllabus, since the textbooks tend to have a lot more ancillary information. Macro is a bit more difficult, but nothing insane. </p>
<p>Very easy to do!</p>
<p>I recently took the AP Macroecon in may of this year and I used the 5 steps and it actually helped alot! Good luck!</p>
<p>stick with 5steps. better than PR and Kaplan. </p>
<p>i self-studied macro/micro. i procrastinated till the last 2 days to open 5steps and it was my best decision and i literally crammed in a whole years worth of material via it. 5steps was worth it. PR is to ‘squished’ on every page and kaplan made it seem like a really hard course when it aint’…</p>
<p>Used only 5 steps and a few old FRQs off of AP Central. Spent a day on each (2 days total), ended up with double 5s. 5 Steps covers everything you need to know; just make sure that you understand everything and are able to reproduce all of the graphs.</p>
