Frequently Asked Questions

AP Microeconomics covers core economic principles including supply and demand, elasticity, consumer and producer surplus, production costs, market structures (perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly), factor markets, and international trade. The course emphasizes graphical analysis and real-world applications, requiring students to interpret economic models and solve quantitative problems. Most of the exam focuses on these foundational concepts, so building a solid understanding early in the year is essential for success.

The AP Microeconomics exam is scored out of 5 and consists of two sections: a 70-minute multiple-choice section (60 questions) and a 50-minute free-response section (3 questions). The multiple-choice section tests conceptual understanding and graph interpretation, while the free-response questions require students to analyze scenarios, draw economic models, and explain their reasoning. Time management is critical—students typically have about 70 seconds per multiple-choice question and roughly 15 minutes per free-response question.

Many students struggle with interpreting and drawing supply-and-demand graphs correctly, especially when analyzing shifts versus movements along curves. Understanding elasticity concepts and applying them to real-world scenarios also trips up many learners. Additionally, students often find the free-response section challenging because it requires clear explanations of economic reasoning alongside accurate graphs—simply knowing the concept isn't enough if you can't communicate it effectively on the exam.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who can break down complex economic concepts, help you master graph interpretation, and teach you how to structure clear free-response answers. Tutors work with you on practice problems and full-length exams to identify weak areas, build confidence with different question types, and develop efficient problem-solving strategies. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows you to focus on your specific gaps rather than reviewing material you already understand.

Most students benefit from consistent preparation starting 2-3 months before the exam in May. A typical study schedule includes weekly tutoring sessions combined with independent practice—aim for 5-7 hours of focused study per week. This timeline allows you to work through all major topics, take multiple practice exams, review weak areas, and build confidence. If you're starting later or struggling with specific concepts, more intensive tutoring can help you catch up efficiently.

Graphs are the language of economics—the exam heavily emphasizes your ability to draw, interpret, and analyze economic models. Questions frequently ask you to show how changes in variables affect equilibrium price and quantity, consumer surplus, or market efficiency using supply-and-demand diagrams. Mastering graph construction and understanding what each shift or movement represents is essential for both multiple-choice and free-response success, as you'll need to explain economic concepts visually.

A score of 3 or higher is considered passing and earns college credit at most universities, while a 4 or 5 demonstrates strong mastery. The national average score is around 2.6, so scoring a 3 puts you above average. Your target score depends on your college goals and major—business, economics, and engineering programs often look for 4s or 5s. A tutor can help you set realistic goals based on your starting point and create a focused study plan to reach them.

Your first session will typically focus on assessment and planning. The tutor will discuss your current understanding of key concepts, review your previous test scores or practice exams if available, and identify your strongest and weakest areas. Together, you'll establish clear goals, discuss your timeline before the exam, and create a personalized study plan. This foundation helps ensure that all future sessions are targeted and efficient, maximizing your improvement.
