[nabs-l] AP Economics - Please Help if you have experience

[Emily Pennington]

Hi, Miso.
I didn't take Microeconomics as an AP; rather, I took it last semester in 
college. However, I did take AP Macroeconomics as a senior in high school, 
so I know what you're talking about. In both classes -- although especially 
Macro -- I found that even though I did have to scribe a lot of graphs, they 
all originated from just a few different types. The production possibilities 
curve, the basic supply-demand graph with a few variations, the Phillips 
curve, and so on. It's a bit different for Micro, but the basics are 
similar. So it's not necessarily the graphs that are a bear to memorize, but 
the shifts of the curves and other little variations.
Additionally, when I took my AP test, I got the same problems with the same 
types of concepts, but what I didn't know until the day of the test was that 
I wouldn't be asked to draw any graphs. That was pleasantly surprising, 
because as much as I studied and felt confident about scribing the graphs, 
it was nice to be able to answer the questions without that pressure of 
scribing a complicated graph.
I hope that helps somewhat, especially since I took a different AP class. 
Like I said, though, the overall big picture is the same.

Emily
