What is AP Economics?

AP Economics consists of two separate college-level courses offered by the College Board:

Focuses on individual decision-making by consumers and firms, market structures, and resource allocation.

AP Macroeconomics

Focuses on the economy as a whole, including national income, unemployment, inflation, fiscal policy, and monetary policy.

Course Duration: Full academic year (September to May) for each course

Exam Format (Both Micro & Macro):

  • Section I: 60 Multiple Choice Questions (70 minutes) - 66.7% of score
  • Section II: 3 Free Response Questions (60 minutes) - 33.3% of score
    • 1 Long Free Response (25 minutes suggested)
    • 2 Short Free Response (15 minutes each suggested)
  • Total Exam Time: 2 hours 10 minutes

Scoring: Each exam is scored on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the highest. Most universities accept scores of 3 or higher for college credit.

Calculator: Calculators are NOT allowed on AP Economics exams. All calculations must be done by hand.

Why AP Economics Students in Dubai Choose EdFlik

Success Story: Ahmed from GEMS Modern Academy

"I took both AP Micro and Macro with EdFlik. My tutor made the graphs so easy to understand—I used to panic drawing them, but now I can do them perfectly under time pressure. The real-world examples using UAE economy really helped! Scored 5 on both exams!" - Ahmed K., Dubai

Success Story: Sara from Dubai American Academy

"AP Macro felt impossible at first with all the policies and models. My EdFlik tutor broke everything down step-by-step and connected it to current events. The FRQ practice was incredibly helpful—I knew exactly what to write on exam day. Scored a 5!" - Sara M., Arabian Ranches

AP Economics Exam Tips from Our Expert Tutors

For Multiple Choice Questions:

  • Read each question carefully—one word can change the entire answer
  • Eliminate obviously wrong answers first
  • Watch for "always" and "never" statements—they're usually wrong
  • Know your graphs cold—many MCQs test graph interpretation
  • Understand the difference between short-run and long-run effects
  • Manage time: approximately 70 seconds per question
  • Don't second-guess yourself—your first instinct is usually correct

For Free Response Questions:

  • Draw graphs LARGE and CLEARLY—graders must be able to read them easily
  • Label EVERYTHING—axes, curves, equilibrium points, shifts
  • Use correct economic terminology—say "aggregate demand" not just "demand"
  • Answer all parts—each part is graded separately
  • Show your work for calculations—partial credit is available
  • Use arrows to show direction of shifts or changes
  • Be specific—say "increase" or "decrease," not "change"
  • Don't waste time on explanations unless asked—be concise

Graph Drawing Tips:

  • Always label axes with specific variables (Price, Quantity, Interest Rate, etc.)
  • Label all curves (D, S, AD, SRAS, LRAS, MR, MC, etc.)
  • Mark equilibrium points clearly (E1, E2, etc.)
  • Use arrows to show shifts (right for increase, left for decrease)
  • Draw supply and demand curves with proper slopes
  • For Macro: LRAS is vertical, SRAS is upward sloping, AD is downward sloping
  • Practice drawing graphs from memory until you can do them perfectly

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

  • Confusing "change in demand" with "change in quantity demanded"
  • Mixing up short-run and long-run effects
  • Drawing graphs too small or with unlabeled axes
  • Confusing fiscal policy with monetary policy
  • Not showing the direction of shifts clearly
  • Forgetting to answer all parts of FRQs
  • Using vague language instead of specific economic terms

Common AP Economics Challenges and How We Help

Challenge 2: Understanding Policy Effects

Solution: We connect fiscal and monetary policies to real-world examples from UAE, US, and global economies. You'll understand not just what happens, but why it happens.

Challenge 3: Distinguishing Between Micro and Macro Concepts

Solution: We create clear comparison charts and use consistent terminology to help you distinguish between similar concepts in Micro and Macro (like demand vs. aggregate demand).

Challenge 4: Time Management on FRQs

Solution: We teach you efficient FRQ strategies—how to quickly identify what's being asked, draw graphs first, and answer concisely. You'll practice timed FRQs regularly.

Challenge 5: Memorizing Economic Terminology

Solution: We use flashcards, real-world applications, and repeated practice to help you internalize economic vocabulary. You'll learn terms in context, not just definitions.

Should You Take AP Micro or Macro First?

Both orders work, but here are some considerations:

Take AP Microeconomics First If:

  • You prefer starting with individual decision-making before big-picture concepts
  • You want to build foundation in supply/demand before aggregate models
  • You're taking both exams in the same year and want to start with slightly easier concepts

Take AP Macroeconomics First If:

  • You're interested in national and global economic issues
  • You follow current events and want to understand fiscal/monetary policy
  • You prefer big-picture thinking before detailed market analysis

Take Both Simultaneously If:

  • You want to see connections between micro and macro concepts
  • You're strong in analytical thinking and can handle two AP courses
  • You want to maximize college credit in one year

EdFlik Recommendation: Most students find it beneficial to take AP Microeconomics first, then AP Macroeconomics. However, with our expert tutoring, you can succeed in either order or take both together!
