AP Macroeconomics on Savad. The AP Macroeconomics paper, unit by unit, scored 1–5.

AP Macroeconomics is its own AP subject, separate from AP Microeconomics, with the 6 units of the College Board CED and the four economics skill categories built in. Multiple choice marks itself; you mark the long and the two short free-response questions and the 1–5 score follows.

The exam

AP Macroeconomics, as your students will sit it.

1Section IMultiple choice · 60 questions, five choices A–E · 70 min
2Section IIFree response · 1 long + 2 short questions · 60 min, opening with a 10-minute reading period before answers unlock
AP score 1–5 from a composite where Section I counts two thirds and Section II one third, as on the real exam. The long free-response question is marked out of 10, the short ones out of 5. A four-function calculator is allowed in both sections — the player opens one, as Bluebook does. On the real exam the free response is handwritten; here students answer on screen and can add a photo of their graphs.
Features

What you get for AP Macroeconomics.

Organised by the CED

Questions are tagged to the 6 units and 42 topics of the College Board Course and Exam Description, from economic indicators and the business cycle to the financial sector and the open economy, and to the skill category they test.

  • Five-choice multiple choice, long and short FRQs
  • Skill categories, CED skills and big ideas
  • Graphs, tables and payoff matrices as stimuli

Two-section papers

A question's format decides where it sits: multiple choice in Section I, then the long free-response question before the two short ones in Section II — 2 hours 10 minutes in total.

  • Timed per section
  • Four-function calculator throughout
  • Preview as student

FRQs marked on their rubric points

Multiple choice is scored on submit. You mark the long FRQ 0–10 and each short one 0–5, and the composite and 1–5 score update as you go, with multiple choice weighed two thirds.

  • Long and short FRQs told apart
  • Photos of students' graphs
  • Score withheld until all FRQs are marked
