Self-Taught AP Economics

<p>For AP economics, does the Principles of Economics by Mankiw (textbook) cover both AP Macroeconomics and AP Microeconomics? Would using this textbook with Princeton Review and Barron's give me a good chance at getting a 5 on both tests? Anyone who has self-studied economics please offer advice or tips.</p>

<p>I’m self-studying econ this year, and I’m just using the prep books. I checked through a couple of textbooks and cross referenced them with the AP syllabus, and apparently there’s a lot more in them than we need to know.</p>
