<p>I'm taking AP Macro Economics at school, and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on which book (Princeton Review, REA, Barrons, etc.) to use?</p>
<p>I liked Barron's, but if you want a quicker (and less indepth) review, go for PR.</p>
<p>Ok, I have plenty of time . . . so Barron's would be more comprehensive?</p>
<p>All Barron's AP books are waaaaaaaaay too hard. The AP test ask for BASIC info....dont' waste you're time with Barrons endless (pointless) technicalities....</p>
<p>You can try the NCEE's Macroeconomics workbook, and refer to online resources if you need help.</p>
<p>I think our teacher is already giving us workbook pages. Is there a different book I should get instead of Barrons?</p>
<p>What's NCEE's workbook?</p>
<p>I think Barron's is a lot more comprehensive. I learned macro in class, but I had to self-study micro and Barron's got me the five.
I attempted to learn micro off of PR but, without much micro background, I didn't feel confident about the material. Enter Barron's, and I did fine.</p>
<p>I also used Kaplan - I bought it only a week before the test though, and it wasn't <em>bad</em>. I definitely wouldn't have minded using it if I took both a micro and a macro course, but it wouldn't have been able to totally teach me the micro portion. Basically, Kaplan is fine for review, probably a little more indepth (but also a bit more complex/confusing) than PR, but not as thorough as Barron's.</p>
<p>Go with the Prinecton Review, Barrons is a joke</p>
