Course Overview Advanced Placement Economics provides students with a thorough understanding of the principles and applications of microeconomics and macroeconomics. This rigorous, college-level course, prepares students for both the AP Microeconomics exam and AP Macroeconomics exam.

The purpose of macroeconomics is to give students a greater understanding of the principles of economics that apply to an economic system as a whole. The course places particular emphasis on the study of national income and price-level determination, and also develops students’ familiarity with economic performance measures, the financial sector, stabilization policies, economic growth, and international economics.

  • AP Economics Syllabus
    AP Economics Mr. Tengowski AP Economics is a year-long college level economics course that encompasses both AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics. Students who complete this course will be prepared to take the AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics Exams that are administered by the College Board in May. In preparation for this examination, this course will be divided into two parts approximately split along semester lines: the first semester will be devoted to the study of Microeconomics in six units of three to four chapters each, while the second semester will be devoted to the study of Macroeconomics split into five units of two to three chapters each. There will be a cumulative test at the conclusion of every unit and both a Micro and Macro Review Examination. AP Microeconomics introduces students to the cost-benefit analysis that underlies how economic decisions are made by individuals, firms, and organizational structures. Supply and Demand analysis is developed to demonstrate how market prices are determined, how those prices determine an economy’s allocation of goods and services, how factors of production are allocated, and how goods and services are distributed throughout the economy. The focus of this section of the course is the actions of consumers and producers as they interact in the resource and product markets. We will evaluate decision-making by all actors, including the role of government intervention in this model. AP Macroeconomics emphasizes economic principles as applied to the economy as a whole and includes an analysis of basic economic concepts revolving around scarcity, measurement of economic performance, national income and price determination, the financial sector, inflation, unemployment, and stabilization policies, economic growth and productivity, and international trade and finance.

  • AP (Advanced Placement) As College Admissions Become
    AP (Advanced Placement) As college admissions become increasingly competitive, any possible edge can be the difference between a coveted acceptance or a dreaded rejection. Advanced Placement (AP) is a program that offers college-level curriculum and examinations to high school students for them to prove their proficiency in certain subjects before starting college. Even though there is no specific rule of thumb to take any number of APs, statistics suggest that students applying for STEM courses on an average take 4-5 APs, which can also go up to 8 in number. Therefore, when you set a target for yourself, plan them well and spread them evenly throughout 10th, 11th and 12th standards, so that you don’t stress yourself by taking all of them in one single go. Please remember, APs are conducted by College Board for international students only once a year in May. Here is how you could plan your timeline ahead. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC What are AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC? ● Advanced Placement Calculus is a set of two distinct Advanced Placement Calculus courses and exams offered by College Board. Who should ideally take Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC? ● Calculus BC is recommended to students aspiring for STEM courses for undergrad. ● Calculus AB is recommended to students aspiring for Business, Economics courses for undergrad or the ones who are aspiring for STEM courses but have a time constraint. ● Calculus BC is a prereQuisite for applying for Stanford Pre-Collegiate University Level Online-Math and similar courses which students attend in 11th std.
