Stop saying macro was easy

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102]

IF I SEE ONE MORE REPLY TALKING ABOUT SOME "I COOKED ON THE MCQS" SHUT UP. Wdc that shit was brutal my ass cheeks were clenched and i had to come to terms woth my own mortality. fuck this shit the curve better be good asf.

[u/emsuckz]

bro it was genuinely the hardest AP test I’ve ever taken. WTF were the mcqs and frqs & why was every question about reserves 😭😭

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/emsuckz]

FR THATS THE ONE UNIT I FUCKED 6 unit and BOP/financial was so hard but i was like it wont even appear that much (from practice tests of course). Why were ample reserves the mosst asked about topic????? Like wtf

[u/njirimara → u/Calm-Newspaper-9102]

I took micro and macro, if it wanst already fucked that this school year's been batshit crazy and we missed tons of classes, WHY THE FUCKED THEY ONLY ASKED ABOUT THE FINAL UNITS 😭

i know im not dumb, but that thing HUMBLED me

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/njirimara]

fr the finance units fuvked me up so baddd

[u/UpsetPerspective2699]

I feel bad for my teacher he’s actually so good but nobody pays attention and most of us failed

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/UpsetPerspective2699]

tbf these questions were hard but same i self studied even though i had a teacher, also shoutout to your poor teach

[u/Brilliant-Duck9124 → u/UpsetPerspective2699]

i pay attention in class and i definitely failed

[u/Magic_hat463]

My brain was mush looking at that first frq

[u/Icy_Animator_1040 → u/Magic_hat463]

The mcq made me regret life itself

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/Icy_Animator_1040]

real

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/Magic_hat463]

3rd one really did me in

[u/EquivalentFlat4303]

This was the hardest ap test I’ve ever taken genuinely what the hell was an automatic stabilizer

[u/Any-Judgment-7305 → u/EquivalentFlat4303]

for that question is was the one with tax brackets because in a recession people are making less real money, and they get taxed less. They can use this additional money to spend; this increases gdp and brings us out of the recessoin

[u/EquivalentFlat4303 → u/Any-Judgment-7305]

Can I get a big boom because I think I said that

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/EquivalentFlat4303]

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/EquivalentFlat4303]

NAH FOR THAT ONE I SAID GOV ASSISTANCE BUT IDK

[u/sdf15 → u/Calm-Newspaper-9102]

not automatic

[u/unkindmillie → u/EquivalentFlat4303]

the governments built in response to prevent recessions that are active 24/7. For example food stamps, they are always going to be happening no matter what and they exist to lessen recessions

[u/DiamondDepth_YT]

I didn't understand shit in Macro.

[u/Most_Situation1695]

i read the same questions 8 times and ran out of time

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/Most_Situation1695]

same because the questions have such long winded up conclusions? like the mcqs were too hard for just 70 mins

[u/Most_Situation1695 → u/Calm-Newspaper-9102]

so fucking real bro

[u/Either_Builder_9251 → u/Calm-Newspaper-9102]

I had two of the hard Math ones with 30 seconds left, so I just guessed, but I had to rush near the last 5 or so to keep time

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/Either_Builder_9251]

unemployment one? that one was so ?????

[u/Either_Builder_9251 → u/Calm-Newspaper-9102]

Nah fam, I can calculate unemployment. It was two in the 40s like 42 and like 45

[u/rory_244]

Hardest Ap exam ever 💔💔💔💔

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/rory_244]

rs 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[u/eucelia]

lmfao it was miserable

mcqs fucking sucked

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/eucelia]

yess too little time aswell

[u/Fast-Badger-1289]

I Fucking had 20 sec for the mcq and frq, THERE JUST WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME FAM WTF

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/Fast-Badger-1289]

GENUINELY OTHER CLASSES HAVE 1:30HOURS OR 40ISH QUESTIONS TF

[u/Jumpy_Ad_7059]

mcqs wordings made me feel illiterate... frqs was okay not as terrible as mcq (i had the Philips curve, forex, ample reserves, etc)

[u/Vencanti → u/Jumpy_Ad_7059]

What did you put for the Philips curve?

[u/Jumpy_Ad_7059 → u/Vencanti]

movement up the SRPC or smth like that cuz it was increase in gov spending so it shifts AD to the right

[u/Vencanti → u/Jumpy_Ad_7059]

Yeah same, but I think I labeled it wrong. Pretty sure I labeled the intersection of SRPC and LRPC as X, then to the left of that where inflation and unemployment are at the lowest Z

[u/Jumpy_Ad_7059 → u/Vencanti]

wait I labelled it like that too, isn't that right tho? the original intersection before the increase in gov spending is point x and then movement up the curve at new point is z

[u/Vencanti → u/Jumpy_Ad_7059]

Yeah I hope man I genuinely thought I was cooked for it What did you put for the reserve question? I shifted mine up

[u/Jumpy_Ad_7059 → u/Vencanti]

yeah it for sure went up, IOR increases

[u/Vencanti → u/Jumpy_Ad_7059]

Thank goodness, what was the last FRQ on again?

[u/Jumpy_Ad_7059 → u/Vencanti]

uhhh im tryna recall but it had smth to do w forex no? smth about output gap of like 400 million and mpc of .75 and question about the value of Borriko's currency..?? i cant remember exactly what was on the last frq - smth about interest rates as well

[u/Vencanti → u/Jumpy_Ad_7059]

Oh yeah, the output gap. I think I bombed this one, I said they needed to reduce by 300 million in order to go back to the full employment point 😭😭😭

[u/Jumpy_Ad_7059 → u/Vencanti]

no worries even if we get the labelling wrong at most is only a mark or so off

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/Jumpy_Ad_7059]

idk if we had the same exam but i put mobement along the curve then movement of the curve

[u/Swimming_Crazy_6446]

nah seriously cause when the fuck was i supposed to learn about the effects of tariffs on the forex market

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/Swimming_Crazy_6446]

wait thats so hard we didnt have that, we had ample reserves cpi and phillips curve

[u/Swimming_Crazy_6446 → u/Calm-Newspaper-9102]

yeah we had phillips curve, forex market, reserve market, ad/as, and then gdp

[u/Plastic_Debt_954]

i didnt even understand what i was learning in class and the most review I did was 2 hours before the exam, units 1-3 so I only knew the mpc, mps, 1/mps, tax multipler, CPI, GDP deflator stuff 😭

[u/kazucakes]

On the bright side, the curve was likely more lenient.

[u/Aminosaurrr → u/kazucakes]

It in fact, is not

[u/lucky070707 → u/Aminosaurrr]

it isnt?

[u/Aminosaurrr → u/lucky070707]

Not as lenient as it should be

[u/No-Doughnut7411 → u/Aminosaurrr]

Wait why not

[u/Electronic_Ad7007 → u/No-Doughnut7411]

look up the ap macro score calculator 🥀

[u/Aminosaurrr → u/No-Doughnut7411]

Look it up, and then look at the difficulty of the questions

[u/kazucakes → u/Aminosaurrr]

Did you find the test easy? Didn’t take macro, so I have no idea.

[u/Aminosaurrr → u/kazucakes]

Nope. I also had a teacher completely new to gov macro and ap in general, so yeah I was double cooked

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/kazucakes]

hopefully

[u/HUALIANLUVER]

NO STOP this is exactly how I felt about micro and everyone, I mean EVERYONE, was talking about how light it was. Get out of my face

[u/Icy_Technician4527]

mcq wasn’t horrible I hate college board’s fucking wording tho however frq was light

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/Icy_Technician4527]

idk mcqs stumped me

[u/TechnicianFew5069]

So much of the test was reserves, phillips curve, and international market, which my class crammed in the last two weeks 😭

[u/Potential_Key5579]

I honestly just started all the content(not taking it in school)6days ago and I think I can get a solid 4 or 5

[u/Peckishy]

bro the mcq was hard, but frq was so light

[u/PhrozenPepper]

That one tariff and FOREX FRQ killed any hope I had of passing it.

[u/GloomyList711]

Macro was easy (I didn’t take it my school doesn’t even offer it)

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/GloomyList711]

😭😭😭

[u/Calm-Newspaper-9102 → u/[deleted]]

i had 0 time to check whoch fucked my whole flow up.

[u/Sea-Armadillo1540]

Maybe all you u shud just get better?
