Albert’s AP® Microeconomics multiple choice questions (located in the Practice tab) and free response questions (located in the Free Response tab) are organized in accordance with the College Board’s AP® Microeconomics Course and Exam Description into the following units:

In addition to our practice guide, Albert's AP® Microeconomics course includes Unit assessments that include multiple choice questions unique from those on our practice guide and FRQs unique from those on the FRQ guide. The course also includes two full length practice exams allowing students to practice and prepare for the experience of taking the AP® Macroeconomics exam.

On the Free Response guide, each unit in AP® Microeconomics contains several FRQs of each type found on the AP® Exam itself, providing multiple opportunities to practice important writing and source analysis skills.

All questions in Albert’s AP® Microeconomics course are aligned to the Enduring Understandings, Learning Objectives, Essential Knowledge, and Economic Skills from the Course and Exam Description.

This standards-alignment provides another easy way to find useful questions besides the Theme and Topic organization. Using the Standards button at the top left corner of any subject page, you can search for any standard from the CED to find all questions in our course library aligned to that standard! For more details, please see this article in our Help section.

In addition to searching by the standards’ names, you can also search by their content! Simply type in a few words from the standard description to see all relevant standards pertaining to that content.

Albert’s AP® Microeconomics course also includes tags. These are words or phrases connected by a hyphen that provide information about what a question covers, such as supply-and-demand and **elasticity. Tags provide another easy way to search for relevant content in our course library. Simply search using the Tags button at the top left corner of any guide level.

AP® Microeconomics includes all of the question types students will find on the actual AP® exam. This provides meaningful practice of important skills and content to prepare students to excel in their course and on their exam.

We know that educators have different philosophies around calculator use in mathematics coursework. We leave it to you to decide when calculator use is appropriate for Albert’s AP® Microeconomics questions. Four-function calculators are allowed on the AP® Microeconomics exam.
