4.0 out of 5 stars
I independent studied using this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Prepare for the AP Macroeconomics/Microeconomics (Paperback)
I never took the AP microeconomics course offered at my school. I just used this book and the PR book. Overall, this book is great in that it teaches all the information needed to ace the test. However, the questions in the practice test are not reflective of those on the real test. Also, sometimes, this book delves too deeply into the subject. It provides far more information than is necessary to get a 5 on the test. It is also more boring than the Princeton Review book. Information is presented in paragraph forms rather than in bulleted form, making it more unorganized. However, knowing this book back to front will easily get the job of getting a 5 on the AP test accomplished.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Exactly what a student needs.,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Prepare for the AP Macroeconomics/Microeconomics (Paperback)
I decided to independently study for the AP Macroeconomics exam my junior year. I had not taken any classes previously that would have helped me on the test. In addition to the Barron's book, I purchased the Princeton Review and the Cliffs Notes books. There is simply no comparsion-- the Barron's book is FAR superior. It does not waste the reader's time delving into topics not on the exam. It covers exactly what the student needs to know. The other two books I mentioned are excessively light on some topics, and I am confident that if I would have taken the test with one or both of them, I would not have done nearly as well. But the Barron's book gave me everyting I needed. At the end of each chapter(as is the case with all Barron's AP books) there are 15 multiple-choice questions covering the material from the chapter and a free response question. I found these questions relevant and instructive. The sample AP exam in the back of the book is well done. Thanks to this book, I am confident I got a 5 on the AP Macroeconomics exam. There was just one multiple choice question I didn't recognize. Highly recommended.

Very helpful!,
This review is from: How to Prepare for the AP Macroeconomics/Microeconomics (Paperback)
I used this book as my only study materials for the AP test in both macroeconomics and microeconomics. I ended up with a 5 in micro and 4 in macro. My teacher didn't really teach at all through the year, so I think that the results are due solely to this book.
