5 out of 5 stars Amazing comprehensive review!   July 14, 2010

My AP Econ teacher wanted us to buy this book as a replacement to the textbook but in the end decided to use the other McGraw Hill review guide. But I had already bought this.

I was frustrated with some concepts so I turned to this book as a last resort.

BEST BOOK EVER.

It is written in colloquial terms. This book really helped me understand Micro and Macro. I used this book according to what we were doing in class throughout the year. I hilighted like crazy and made tons of notes also.

It helped me do so well in the class, especially the tests.

When it came time for the AP Exams, I reread this book. I went back and read everything, made flash cards, reread my sidenotes.

I got my exam results back today and I got A 5 ON BOTH EXAMS! :]

It is a very comprehensive guide. Although, like with most concepts, you have to reread chapters several times. But that's not because of the book but because Economics the subject.

If you are deciding between any other book and this one, and you are the detail-oriented and/or studious type who likes things explained step-by-step then BUY THIS BOOK!!!!



5 out of 5 stars great review overall   June 22, 2010

hey, so I took ap micro and ap macro last May. 5 steps to a 5 has done a great job on reviewing the topics. The practice problems and practice exams are well representative to the real exam. I was shocked to see how similar the free responses were on the real AP exam. They were almost the same. Piece of advice, know how to do every single question in the practice exam and you will do well on the AP exam. Don't think that it won't appear on the test, because it will. The only problem I had was that ap micro was after ap macro and I didn't have time to go back and review ap micro plus this year's micro was harder than previous year. I thought I had a solid 5, but I think I am either getting a 3 or 4. However, I am pretty confident that I am getting a 5 on ap macro. Great book, buy it and you won't regret.

edit: I got 5 on both micro and macro, buy this book

I bought this book for the Microeconomic CLEP and it was well worth the money!! I would suggest this, and even other editions, to anyone who need to study in a hurry!
