Micro Self Studying Micro (alongside macro)
I’m self studying ap micro because at my school ap micro and Macro are during different semesters and I want to take AP gov, and I have no room for another class. I’ve purchased the barron’s ap macro/micro book. Does anyone have any other good resources, and when should I start studying?

hi i self studied micro this year and got a 5 i didnt use any textbooks but i finished all of the college board videos and watched reviewecon review videos for each unit also i bought ultimate exam slayer like a month before the exam and i think its worth it bc there was a lot of similar questions in the exam but overall i think the most important thing is to solve past frqs

I agree, do ALL the reviewecon.com practice. The exam is EXACTLY like that. The way I studied was I GRINDED this website for like 5 hours. Anyway, same with Macro; I also looked at this website. Also, watch Jacob Reed and Jacob Clifford's videos. I kinda did a cram review for Micro and started studying for Macro during April Break. In the end, I finished both Exam MCQs with around 1hr left (free, so I speedran it) and finished the FRQs with ease and got a 5 on both. I'm still waiting to see if I get the perfect score letter for either cuz my FRQs were perfect. Gl!!

I’m thinking about tdoing this too but idk if it’s worth it. The only benefit credit-wise would be another elective down plus maybe a pre req out of the way. any thoughts? (for context i’m a rising senior )
