AP Macro vs. Micro Economics

I agree - take both.

These courses, if done right, don’t have to be too conceptually hard. I’m currently in the “review” phase of self-study for each of these, having primarily used Khan Academy videos (at the moment, the Micro playlist covers about 90% of the AP course description).

One is not necessarily easier, though Micro technically does have more graphs. Graphs don’t have to be hard though. If you can recognize pretty easily that a line sloping upward that gradually becomes more flat means that the independent variable has less effect on the dependent one when it gets large (or any comparable “I see basically what’s happening from this line here”), you’ll be just fine.
