KeyGrip_Chris Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) I am currently taking Economics HL (my first year). I am wondering if the IB course will give me enough knowledge to pass the AP Micro and Macro exams this year (or next). I know the IB Economics syllabus covers Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, but I am not sure how well I would be prepared for AP exams on the subjects.

KeyGrip_Chris Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Has anyone taken the AP exams after their first year of this IB class? Should I just count on self-studying with a study guide like the Princeton Review's? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleetfeet Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Being a first year in Economics SL, I can't say for sure if Economics HL will entirely cover AP Macro/Micro. Although, I hear from friends who have gone through IBDP and AP courses that IB Econ is much different compared to AP (IB is more of "why?" than AP which is more memorization). Personally, I'm self-studying using "5 Steps to a 5" and planning to take both AP exams May 2013; if you plan on self-studying, make sure that you organize a schedule and stick to it!
