Study Smarter for AP® Macroeconomics

Though many colleges across the country provide credit for a 3 on the AP Macroeconomics exam, the most competitive schools are more selective. If your goal is to guarantee a score of 5, the best way to prepare is to take an AP Macroeconomics practice exam early in your course to establish a baseline for your performance. Taking an AP Macro practice exam gives you insight into the difficulty level of the multiple choice questions and the free-response question rubric. Plus, by reviewing your incorrect answers you will see in which areas of the course you require more focused practice. One of the best ways to ensure you do well on the exam is to use UWorld’s QBank for AP Macroeconomics as your preparation resource. Research shows deeper levels of comprehension and retention are achieved by learning in short lessons over a period of time. We recommend giving yourself at minimum 30 days to test prep if you are aiming for a 3 and longer if you’re aiming higher.

The UWorld AP Macroeconomics review mirrors the course content covered in the AP Macroeconomics curriculum. Topics include basic economic concepts, economic indicators and the business cycle, national income and price determination, financial markets, consequences of stabilization policies and international trade. By practicing with questions which reinforce the topics and skills you learn in class, you will be able to boost your knowledge to achieve a strong performance on the AP exam.

A score of 3 or more indicates you are qualified to receive college credit or placement for a parallel course at many colleges and universities. Each institution has unique AP credit conversion policies. Keep in mind that while many colleges accept a 3+, highly selective schools may only take 4 or 5 point scores for credit waivers.
