<p>I’m in Algebra II and we have a chapter of stats at the end of the year in May. I would like to take AP Statistics (either class or self-study) next year, so I was wondering if I should take AP Economics (Both Macro and Micro) this year or next year.</p>

<p>You do not need statistics for AP Econ. In fact, I believe the only exam you need statistics knowledge for (besides AP Stats) is AP Psychology, and even that is a very, very basic understanding that should be covered in any class / textbook / prepbook.</p>

<p>No- AP Economics can be taken successfullywithout AP Statistics.</p>

4

<p>I agree. Just basic math skills</p>

5

<p>Statistics certainly wouldn’t hurt you in Econ, but it’s not required.</p>

6

<p>You don’t need actual stats material. On the other hand, learning to think about things from a statistical mindset can be very helpful in econ.</p>
