Multiple choice section 60 questions 70 minutes Worth 66.6%

Multiple Choice: Tips Break down the question as you are reading it. Questions will be long – stop as you are reading to jot down notes, draw a graph or process the information! Write in the test booklet to help you process your thinking!   3. Pick out the words you recognize! Ignore the one’s you don’t.

4. BEFORE LOOKING AT CHOICES, think about answer, look at your graphs 4. BEFORE LOOKING AT CHOICES, think about answer, look at your graphs. 5. Last, look at the answers. Find the best one that fits with your thinking, or key words. If you find one that matches your thinking or the graphs you drew, PICK IT

6. Don’t second guess yourself!

Example If a commercial bank has no excess reserves and the reserve requirement is 10%, what is the value of new loans this bank can issue if a new customer deposits $10,000? Solve first, then find answer!!!!

choices A. $100,000 B. $90,333 C. $10,000 D. $9,000 E. $1,000

Example: If labor costs rise in the automobile industry, which of the following will happen to car prices and the quantity of cars sold? Draw a graph before looking at choices!

Choices Prices Quantity sold Decrease decrease Decrease increase Increase decrease Increase increase Increase not change

Free Response Look at previous FRQ questions and practice them. Grade yourself based on the rubric given. Sites to visit to see past FRQs and grading rubric: Macroeconomics: https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/apcourse/ap-macroeconomics/exam-practice Microeconomics: https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/apcourse/ap-microeconomics/exam-practice  

Free response section Free Response Questions (60 Minutes) 3 Questions 1 Long Response Questions 2 Short Response Questions 10 Minute organization time 50 Minute response time 33.3% of score

You will receive a booklet with the questions in it – this is for all of your notes. You will need to transfer your answers into the answer booklet. BLUE OR BLACK PENS MUST BE USED.

2. Use correct terminology. Free Response Tips 1. Do not restate the question. 2. Use correct terminology.

3. If the question requires you to draw a graph, you must do so to receive full credit. Even if a graph is not required, it may be to your advantage to draw one anyway There are no points off for wrong answers; just points given for correct answers

4. Label graphs clearly, correctly, and fully. label each axis and identify each curve on the graph. Changes in curves should be indicated clearly with arrows or with some clear sequencing, such as showing a change in aggregate supply with AS and AS' or AS1 and AS2.

5. Use the same outline numbers or letters from the question in your answer This helps the faculty consultant know where to look for specific answers to specific parts of the question. It also helps you remember to include all parts of the question in your answer.

6. Many free-response questions are divided into parts such as (a), (b), (c), and (d), with each part calling for a different response Credit for each of these parts is awarded independently, so you should attempt to answer them all. If the answer to a later part of a question depends on the answer to an earlier part, you may still be able to receive full credit for the later part, even if the earlier answer is wrong

7. The questions are written in logical order Complete them in this order!

8. Emphasize the line of reasoning that generated your answer. If you make an assertion such as "the price increased," explain why the price increased. Example: Price and quantity decrease (No credit) Aggregate demand decreases, so price and quantity decreases (use word to explain too!)
