The money market graph is the primary focus of questions regarding monetary policy. Follow the link below to review the basics of the Money Market and test your knowledge with a flash review game. 

Money Market

     The loanable funds market is an economic model of how savings supplies and the demand for loans interact to find the equilibrium interest rate. If you understand supply and demand, it’s not too complicated, but there are a few differences. Here you will find an explanation of this market along with a flash review game to test your knowledge. Take a look and let me know what you think!

     The Microeconomics Advanced Placement Exam is extremely graph heavy. Nearly every question connects back to a graph and analysis of that graph. There are also a lot of graphs to know. I have gone through and made an overview of all the major graphs you are likely to see on the exam. The assumption here, as with all of the activities, tips, tricks, and review resources on this site is that you already know a good amount of AP Economics. But taking a look at these graphs before your next unit test or on exam day will serve to keep them fresh in your mind. Good luck and let me know what you think!

Microeconomics Graphs

     The Advanced Placement Macroeconomics exam doesn’t have quite as many graphs as the Microeconomics exam has, but the few there are always show up in the FRQ’s. Except for the business cycle graph, you will need to know how to draw and manipulate them. Make sure you get a good amount of practice drawing these. Make special note of how each curve and axis is labeled. Remember you must always label everything on those FRQ’s!

     When I originally created this website a little more than a month ago, I hoped to make this the place students and teachers go for games and review activities to help them prepare and study for the AP exams. Since then, I have decided to make this site more broadly focused and dedicated to prepping students for the exams with reference sheets and study guides as well. As a result, I have posted two new pages with all of the math formulas a student should know going into the AP Exams. I hope they will help students focus a little more on what they should study when preparing for the May exam. 

 ​     Here are some key concepts and an activity I just finished to help you practice working with the Production Possibilities Curve. This one applies to both Micro and Macro economics. This graph always shows up on both exams. There are 20 different scenarios to test your knowledge. Give it a try and see if you have what it takes to answer all 20 correctly! 

Production Possibilities

     I just completed an activity to help students practice analyzing how the non-price determinants of supply and demand work to change equilibrium price and quantity. Every demand and supply shifter is covered through the 21 problems. I even included a few questions with elasticity coefficients and double shifts. I have also included key concepts you need to know about supply and demand by test day.

     I just added the first macroeconomics review activity. Bank balance sheets have always been a place where my students have struggled. I hope this activity will help make understanding how events impact a bank’s balance sheet easier. 
     Here you will also find some tips and tricks regarding how to tackle a bank balance sheet question.
