Self studying for AP Economics

I plan on self studying for the AP Macro and Micro tests. Can I get away with just studying a review book to prepare for the test? If so, which one do you recommend? Thanks in advance.

I took AP Macro as a class, but self studied micro because I could not fit it in to my schedule. The text was the same, so I skimmed the relevant chapters in the text, used Princeton Review, reverting back to the text for any concepts that were unclear.

I am planning to self study for AP Micro as well! Do you think 5 months is enough time?

5 months is plenty, considering that my kid spent about 2 days studying for Macro and got a 3. He did spend a bit longer on Micro and got a 4. He was taking a 1 semester honors econ class though so it wasn’t like he was studying cold turkey. I think I also bought him a Princeton Review book for studying.

I think I spent 2-3 weeks or so preparing, and this was only in my spare time after my other homework and stuff, and I got a 5. It all depends on how easily you are able to grasp the material.
