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

[Miso Kwak]

Thank you Arielle, Emily.
For the previous three units, I have been writing descriptions of 
graphs...
Do you think actually scribing the graphs will make situations better?
I believe micro econ test requires scribing graphs on the exam because 
teacher gave out some former questions and they asked students to graph.
Not sure if I will take the exam anyways depending on what college I go 
and what the policy on AP credits is...

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
