<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>My school does not offer AP Micro/Macro Economics, but it lets me to take Economics 101/102 classes at a university for 2008-2009. Should I take AP Economics exams in May, 2009?</p>
<p>Thank you for your help.</p>
<p>I know someone who did that successfully, so as long as you follow up the university curriculum with official AP study guides, you should be fine for testing day. Do you have other APs conflicting in your schedule also? You could google the CC forums for what people used to study AP Micro/Macro.</p>
<p>Also, make sure to alert the staff member in your school that takes payment for the tests (Accountant?) that you would like to order it. The time should be listed when the AP testing schedule is up.</p>
<p>I think both micro and macro ap exams are administered on the same day (macro in morning and micro in afternoon if i remember correctly). there really shouldnt be any conflict.</p>
<p>Thank you very much, Serafine and pvr2u.</p>
<p>Is it necessary for me to take AP exams in May ( the university that I am going to take Economics is a state university)? I meant taking Economic AP Exam in May will give me any benefit in my application to colleges?</p>
<p>As mentioned, make sure what you're taught is the same thing the AP will test. Personally, I think it's a waste unless you want to show colleges that you have a desire for or a love of economics or related subject OR you want to get an award.</p>
<p>wait. dude. if you're taking a COLLEGE CLASS... there isn't any reason to take the AP test?! if you do work at a college, you send your transcript from that school to colleges you apply to. </p>
<p>look into if colleges you like would accept transfer credit. if not, maybe take the AP exams. if they do, theres no point.</p>
<p>EX: i took a class at local community college... in-state schools legally have to recognize the class as credit. :)</p>
