Will I Be Prepared for AP Microeconomics?

<p>Hi, I’m a sophomore (soon to be junior) that is going to take a class at Harvard this summer called Principles of Microeconomics. This is close to a 4-credit, full semester class. I was wondering if it would be wise for me to take the AP Microeconomics exam in spring 2011. Would I be prepared for the exam? After all, this Harvard microeconomics course IS a college course, and I thought that AP exams were supposed to emulate college courses. </p>

<p>Also, what prep books should I buy if I were to take it? I heard that Princeton Review and 5 Steps to a 5 are good preparation.</p>

<p>Actually, this IS a full-semester, 4-credit class (not only close to).</p>

<p>5 Steps will be all you need. PR is fine also. I think taking a Micro course at Harvard and using a review book puts you in good shape for a good score on the exam.</p>

<p>If you do well in the course and use a prep book it should be an easy 4/5 for you. I used Princeton Review and it covered most (only 1 MC question wasn’t directly covered by Princeton Review). It was covered by PR, but the terminology was slightly different. I also suggest doing the practice FRQ on collegeboard a few weeks before the test. Those helped immensely and really prepared me for the FRQ section.</p>

<p>You could probably pull a 5 with barely any extra prep if you do well in Mankiw’s class. I took Macro online as a sophomore, and my junior year I was able to pull a 5 on the Micro exam with about a week of prep (I never actually took Micro). The test is not bad</p>

<p>Banjo, what website did you use to learn macro?</p>

<p>You will be more than prepared for the AP test.</p>
