Official I'm DONE with AP MACRO!!!
Just finished the test. I'm going to take the Micro in about half an hour. I thought the MC wasn't too bad. Omitted 10. Was confident on most of the 50 that I answered. The FR..so questions stomped me because I kept contradicting myself....w/e...can't wait to discuss FR in 48 hours....

I thought Macro was my easiest test by far...I think I might have missed only 1 or 2 questions. For every question, even if you didn't know the answer, you could at least eliminate a couple of the choices easily.

the mc was easy except for a few but you could narrow down those ones to two choices.
FRs were different but easy

in mcq's i wasn't sure of 10, and guessed in some. omitted around 3-4.
FRs were easy.

VERY easy as compared to MICRO.

The micro exam was comparatively hard and tricky. the fr's were hard too

MC were fairly simple. I guessed on like 2 of them.

FRQ....I couldnt remember what the first part of #2 was, we went over that very briefly. Everything else was pretty easy.

I thought the Micro was much easier than the Macro.

I had to "self-study" both because my school only offers a semester Honors Economics class that covers both Micro & Macro.

Eww..You good at Macro ppl...

I think this is the breakdown:

70-90: 5
60-69?: 4
40s-59: 3

Something like that...

WOOHOO no more AP exams ever again! I finished both MC sections with 13 minutes to spare. 10 or so minutes for the FRQs.

The curve will probbly be more like 65 and up is a five in my opinion. All of the review books try to make it look like the test is harder than it actually is so you study more and then thank their review book for your over effort.

i omitted 4 on the mc for macroeconomics. for the most part the mc was pretty good. i felt like they kept asking the same question just worded differently. but i wasn't sure on a lot of them because i kept second-guessing myself.

frq number 1 had 2 topics i was pretty unfamiliar with which sucks since thats worth the most! i know i got at least the first halves right for 2 and 3...so ehh didn't do as well as i thought i would on the essays =(

but overall i would have to say the test was fine.
