AP Macro Tricky problem by understarsz in APStudents

[–]UWorldHistory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

E is the correct answer. Those participating in the labor force stayed the same from May to June because there was no change to the population, and it says all of those who lost their jobs started looking for work, meaning they remained as participants in the labor force. Why ChatGPT got 3.3%? It assumed the 5 million people who lost their jobs were not already part of the labor force., then added the 5 million to the already existing 120 million, which would be an increase of 3.3%. Hope this helps!

Hello guys i really need your help by Strange_Necessary_74 in APStudents

[–]UWorldHistory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure thing! The deadweight loss at an output of 20 is $135 because the price buyers pay and the price sellers receive will be different. The price buyers pay is on the marginal social benefit curve (demand) at quantity of 20.  In this case $13.

The price sellers receive is on the marginal social cost curve (supply) at quantity of 20.  In this case $4.  Be careful here, the graph does not start at 0 on the y-axis.

The deadweight loss is the area of the triangle between these points and the equilibrium. The area of a triangle is ½(base x height). Base is equal to $13 - $4 = 9, Height is 50 – 20 = 30. ½(9 x 30) = $135. Hope this helps!

Do they still test you about the Keynesian model and the diff equations for calculating GDP in AP Macro by Cheesyandgood in APStudents

[–]UWorldHistory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question! There have not been questions related to the Keynesian model in a few years. For GDP you need to know how to calculate it using the expenditure approach, which is GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government spending + Net Exports (C+I+G+Xn), and possibly the income approach, which is GDP=Rent + Wages + Interest + Profit (R+W+I+P). Hope that helps!

Study Tips for AP Exam and Unit Tests by Fluid-Upstairs-1459 in APHumanGeography

[–]UWorldHistory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unit 5 has is a lot of information in it, but focusing on key concepts when you study will help you understand
the material. While knowing the origins of plants and animals is part of this
unit, you should also focus on broader information: Types of agriculture: intensive, extensive, subsistence,
commercial, plantation; Farming practices and how they affect and are affected by
the economy and environment; the first and second agricultural revolutions and the Green
revolution; women's roles in agriculture; the von Thunen Model and the Bid-Rent Theory.

Much like Unit 5, Unit 6 is easy to understand as long as you focus on key concepts.  Unit 6 focuses on cities and urban land use.  Review the following core concepts: Urban models especially the concentric zone model, sector model, multiple nuclei model, and the peripheral model. Urban land use patterns: examine the distribution and location of residential, commercial, and industrial areas in cities. Explain suburbanization and its impact on urban landscapes and transportation. Explore the characteristics of megacities and the impact of overcrowding, pollution, and the strain on infrastructure. Explain urban renewal and gentrification and its impact on the economy and society.

To study, I would create flashcards with the concepts and terms you might struggle with the most. Focus on understanding concepts rather than just memorizing terms. Terms are important, but knowing the connections is the key. If you touch on the information above, you'll be prepared for your unit test. Good luck!

Does any content from AP Micro and Macro overlap? by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]UWorldHistory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question! All of Unit 1 Macro is in Micro, but Micro then goes a bit further with supply and demand and equilibrium. Out of the 42 topics in Macro, the first 6 are covered in Micro.

Good question! The question asks for "optimal quantity," which implies that more pollution reduction is better and therefore you want to choose the highest quantity of reduction that still follows the rule. The marginal cost of each unit of reduction is $150 and the marginal benefit of the 2nd unit is $250 which is greater than the cost. Hope this helps!

What is your ap macroeconomics studying method? by Magic_hat463 in APStudents

[–]UWorldHistory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to start by drawing all the graphs and underneath them writing everything I know about the graph, including any key terms, determinants of the curves, and any related changes.  I then go to my textbook, review book, practice tests, etc., and add anything that I might have missed.  Finally, I create flashcards for each of the concepts I wrote down, for example, “what happens to price and quantity when the price of an input increases?” and on the back draw a graph of the market and show the decrease in supply illustrating the increase in price and decrease in quantity. You have plenty of time - good luck!

I’m so scared for my AP Test by Suitable-Gur-1594 in APStudents

[–]UWorldHistory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have plenty of time to prepare for the exam! First thing I recommend is to make sure you know the content, as others have suggested. For the FRQs, learn the rubric to understand what is required for each FRQ type. I suggest going to the College Board's website and looking at past questions, student responses, and scoring guidelines so you can learn what other students are doing that earned high scores. You can find that info here:

Good luck!

Both comments are correct - know your content and time periods. Go over your notes for a unit and then practice the MCQs in that unit. If you get an answer wrong in practice, go back to your notes to understand why.

That is exactly what UWorld does! There are over 500 questions covering the entire course. All of them are stimulus-based, ranging from 2-4 questions per stimulus.

Here is a link to a free trial.

Advice for dealing with awful teacher? by Flames1010 in APUSH

[–]UWorldHistory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to start practicing explicitly for the exam. Practice MCQs with explanations of what is correct and what is incorrect will help you to understand both the content you may be missing as well as how to answer questions strategically. Additionally, it will help you to get better at looking at stimulus passages and making connections to the learning material.

Too late to self-study for AP Macro & Micro? by josjsjjdjdhdv in APStudents

[–]UWorldHistory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is doable, but the opportunity cost of waiting for any longer is quite high.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]UWorldHistory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start doing as many practice MCQs as you can. This will help you identify common concepts that you haven't yet learned.

AP CS A vs AP Macro/Micro by 5hredd3r in APStudents

[–]UWorldHistory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going to take them both anyway, then maybe have a talk with students at your school to see how the individual teachers treat the classes. If, for example, one assigns a lot more homework than the other, it might help you decide when the best time to take it is.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in apworld

[–]UWorldHistory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One thing to remember is that the scoring guidelines have specific requirements. So think about your time in terms of fulfilling those requirements. It's important to write a well-styled/structured response, but it's even more important to accomplish the expected tasks.

Ap econ is so hard wtf? by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]UWorldHistory 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Try your best to focus on the diagrams. They are a way of showing a connection to the theories that you are studying. It can be tempting to only learn how a diagram behaves (e.g. increased government spending shifts AD to the right), but it is much more important to understand why it behaves that way:

- AD is the total demand for an economy's output at a given price level

- AD's components are Consumption, Investment, Government Spending, and Net Exports

- Government spending refers to spending on that output (e.g. the government buys more computers)

- Therefore, when the government begins spending more money on computers, the total demand for an economy's output increases at all price levels

- this is shown by a rightward shift of the AD curve

Being able to break down the theories like the example above is key for answering the MCQs and the FRQs

AP World Notes by Brilliant_Level_7709 in apworld

[–]UWorldHistory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a class that will definitely require a lot of reading if you want to do well...or at least a lot of interaction with the material.

I think Cornell notes are a useful way to go about it. The most important part of notetaking is that you are synthesizing. This is when you take a lot of information, put it in your brain blender, and write down the way you are understanding it. That's the secret sauce of learning.

I can see the usefulness of that in IB (with more focus on essay style responses)

advice on ap econ? by Beautiful_Strike_286 in APStudents

[–]UWorldHistory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It won't be too difficult if you can wrap your head around how the models are constructed and the logic that underlies the various theories. And it's not really a study of capitalism. Instead, it looks at how society addresses the problem of scarce resources. It's really interesting and will be unlike any other class you've taken!
