5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know, and nothing more., February 17, 2004
By Jordan (Pennsylvania, United States) - See all my reviews
We don't have economics at my school, but it's my intended college major.

Using THIS BOOK ALONE, I made note cards, went over them, and got a 4 on the Micro exam in my junior year. If I'd put in a little more effort, I'd have gotten a 5 (didn't begin studying until mid-April). I'm going to take the Macro this May.

There is a really clear review of all the concepts you need to know, presented exactly as they will appear on the test. It's concise, straightforward, and explicates the necessary graphs. For extra Free Reponse practice, check the AP website.

I'd strongly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worthwhile, July 20, 2004
By B. Hufnal (Colorado) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I agree completely with the reviewer above in that using this book alone almost guarantees a 3. I used it without the courses and got 4's on both the macro and micro exams. Write those note cards for small concepts and study past AP extended response questions! They are all basically the same, so study the graphs and you'll do well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best AP econ prep book, July 17, 2006
I used it when I was studying econ independently and I found this book to be very helpful in sumarizing all of the major concepts found on the ap macro & micro exams. Like one of the reviewers above, I also made notecards, which were very helpful.
I would however, recommend that you also buy an old edition of McConnel & Brue to go with the book as it expands on the basics. For example, the international section lacked depth as did the section on labor markets. The practice tests are very helpful and do a good job in mirroring the actual exams. Other books (like Barrons) have practice exams that are too easy.
Finally, I took the micro & micro exams this year (may 2006) & got a 5 on both tests.
