How do you start?

Request a free intro call: it is a conversation about your goals and timeline, not a lesson or a test. There is no separate diagnostic test for AP, because no single test stands in for a school syllabus. The first lesson does the assessment: your tutor works through your recent marked work and past-paper questions from your own specification, and reads where you stand. It is a normal paid lesson, not a free trial, and it teaches as it assesses.

AP Microeconomics — Frequently Asked Questions

How is the AP Microeconomics exam structured?
The AP Microeconomics exam has 60 multiple-choice questions in 1 hour 10 minutes, worth 66% of the score, and 3 free-response questions in 1 hour, worth 33%. Knowing the split matters because the two halves reward different preparation — the multiple-choice section rewards coverage, the free-response section rewards being able to set out a method.
What college credit does AP Microeconomics carry?
One semester of introductory microeconomics. Credit policies are set by each university rather than by the College Board, so confirm the score your target schools require before choosing which exams to sit.
What does AP Microeconomics cover?
The course is organized into 6 units: Basic Economic Concepts, Supply and Demand, Production, Cost, and the Perfect Competition Model, Imperfect Competition, Factor Markets and 1 more. Our tutoring follows the same order, so what you cover with a tutor lines up with what your class is doing.
What college course is AP Microeconomics equivalent to?
Principles of Microeconomics. That is the level the exam is written to, which is why a strong AP score is treated as evidence you can handle first-year university work in the subject.
Which majors is AP Microeconomics useful for?
It is most relevant to Economics, Business Administration, Finance, Public Policy and 5 more. It is worth taking if it is either required for your intended major or the strongest subject you can show, since a high score in a demanding subject carries more weight than a safe pass in an easy one.
