Product Description A complete test-prep guide to help students get their best score on the Advanced Placement Economics exams Each year, high school students take Advanced Placement Macroeconomics and Microeconomics examinations to earn college credit in those fields. This guide provides full test-prep coverage of both tests within one book, including four full-length practice tests–two for each exam. Subject reviews cover the material necessary for test-takers to demonstrate their understanding of economics at either the micro or macro level. Ronald Pirayoff (Glendale, CA) teaches Advanced Placement Economics at Burbank High School in Burbank. | ||

Not too helpful This book has good graphs and short descriptions, especially if you're looking for the quick definition of an economics term, but overall, it is too general and not helpful enough when you are studying for the AP Economics exam. I used it to review, but the book did not go into enough detail to really be of use to me. Also, there were many instances where the notes in the CliffsAP book contradicted with what I had learned in my economics course and in various impressive, reliable textbooks. I do not recommend using this book. It was quite a waste. I have heard that "5 Steps to a 5 on the AP exam" is better. | ||
Poorly written, not edited This book was horrible. I bought it for the practice tests, and not only did they repeat the same questions in the same tests on occasion, there were many cases where words were mispelled, or key parts of the problems (such as graphs) were left out completely. This book was of shoddy construction and should be avoided as a tool to study for the economics exams. | ||
This book is not good for a CLEP exam. I guess I shouldn't be complaining because I was attempting to pass the macroeconomics CLEP exam with the AP cliff notes book. The reason I was doing this is because I could not find a study guide for it. So if you are looking for a CLEP study guide don't get this book, I did pass with a 54 and I needed a 50, but it was pure luck. | ||
Economic AP Cliff Notes Haven't reviewed the book as yet but am looking forward to using the Cliff Notes in conjuction with an AP Macro and Micro Ecomonics book to prepare for a CLEP test. | ||
scatterbrain Perhaps i shouldn't be complaining because i didn't actually take a microecon course and i'm trying to wing the test by using this book. however, i found this book confusing and poorly organized becuase there are times when terminology isn't consistent and i feel like i'm reading a bunch of random essays put together. fragmented lessons with things in between. one good thing about this book is that there are a few chapters that are written very well and are very clear. however, the more confusing topics have confusing chapters. i wish i hadn't bought this book and that i'd gotten a different one. | ||
