How hard is the A.P Macroeconomics test? How long did you study for it? What textbook did you use in class to study? Is it harder than the A.P U.S History exam? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm wanting to take the course as an independent study, and want to know how difficult it is.

Easiest test offered. Some colleges don't accept it for credit anymore. I finished it in about 8 minutes for the multiple choice and 20 for the essays and got a 5. I never get less than 4 points from a perfect raw score on any practice.

Thanks, thats good to hear. What are the essays on? And do you have to take the Macro/Micro test together? Or can I take Macro my junior year and micro my senior year? Thanks again for your response.
