Micro/Macroeconomics
#1
Hello all,

Micro and Macro will be my next two tests. To save time, I'm thinking of studying them together instead of one at a time. Would this actually be possible to do, or are the tests different enough to where I should study each one separately? Thanks! You guys are invaluable! Smile

I would study them together, they are not the same, but they are very similar.

I took them both. Like TESUAbroad said, they are both similar, but not the same. This can be a "good" or "bad" thing depending upon how flexible you are mentally. I liked taking them together, and at Straighterline, the first 5 chapters for both subjects are EXACTLY the SAME. So I literally studied one chapter from the Macro book (start with that first), then did the macro test, then took the micro test. Same subject matter, just different questions. After the first 5 tests, they diverge.

Bottom line, studying both of them together for me, was a good thing as the subject matter for the most part was interesting, but before I took the classes, I read that some people would get confused and mix certain words and their meanings (from Macro to Micro and reverse), and that put me off for awhile from actually taking the subjects. In hindsight, I'm not *exactly* sure what they were talking about. I kinda get it, but, macro is macro and micro is micro...except when it's macro, you know? Those are my thoughts :-)

If you buy the "Economics" textbook by the same authors as the SL Microecon and Macroecon books, it covers both subjects. Then, if you look at the SL Macro book and the SL Micro book, you can see that they have the same intro chapters (maybe 5 of them) and then they change at that point (I have the Econ Study Guide which covers both subjects, and the Micro textbook, so I can see how they fit together).

I would probably take Macro first (considered easier), and then Micro right after, while it's still fresh in your mind. I think it's a little easier to get through Micro when you've already taken Macro. My CC Econ professor thought the same thing, and she was crazy smart!
