Content Update: New and Improved AP Microeconomics!

How can we help?

Over the next few months, we will be releasing updated content for AP Microeconomics. We’ve spent the past year working with internal and external experts to review and refine our content, and we are excited to share it with you. The new course will add more videos to our existing AP Microeconomics content. It will also include new exercises, quizzes, and unit tests that are fully aligned with the AP Microeconomics Course Description.

Update April 2019:

We’ve now published videos and practice exercises in every lesson of the course! We’ve also switched on mastery - we did this in stages, so if you’ve been tracking your mastery percentage in the course, you may have seen it change recently.

We won’t be adding any more exercises to this course now before the summer, so the course mastery points total is stable for the rest of this school year.

You might have some questions, so we'll try to answer a few here. If you have others, post them in the comments below!

Question: I assigned (or was assigned) material in the old course. Will I still be able to access it?

Answer: Yes! Assignments should not be disrupted. The link to your assignments will still take you to the content that was originally assigned.

Question: What happened to the old content?

Answer: Everything you had access to before is still on the website in the Microeconomics course.

Question: Will this affect my progress through the course?

Answer: Because we are adding new content, this will cause the number of items completed compared with the total (the fraction of the course that is completed) to go down.

Happy learning!

Hello!

First of all thank you very much for putting more content available. I'm very looking forward on watching it all.

I've got a general comment about it. I (and I think I represent a big deal of followers, or subscribers, or students, of Khan Academy inside -but especially outside the US-) have nothing to do with the AP courses or exams. Nevertheless I am interested on all -really, ALL- content that comes out on a subject of my interest. Unfortunately for my case, I'm faced very often with the problem that not all content of the AP playlists are systematically uploaded on the general playlists and viceversa, so it turns very confusing and difficult to follow a learning path without missing any content about the subject of interest (let alone the problem that some content doesn't even appear in the mobile app).

Here we are a great deal of people that study under programmes other than the AP-Courses, and also people that doesn't study under any programme neither are preparing ourselves for any exam whatsoever. We just want to learn. I think we all be very happy if we are not left outside through the introduction, planning and expansion of the AP-playlists.

Thank you very much for your great job!

First of all, thanks for your effort, I'm sure that it'll be great. On the other hand, when is it predicted to be uploaded? Is it expected to be published around May or June?

Thanks, Chhotu.

Hi,

Thank you very much for this update. I am about to finish the AP Macroeconomics course and wanted to get started with AP Microeconomics. Unfortunately, I noticed that this course lacks the 'Lesson Summaries' at the end of each unit, which I have found extremely helpful. Are you planning to add such summaries in the future? I hope you do!

Since the AP Micro exam is coming up this week, can we expect any more content to be added to this course? For me, the course challenges have always been a helpful way of preparing for the AP test, but I don't see it in the course. Can we expect this to be added from now until the exam?

On the section of Monopoly, there is an exercise about Natural Monopoly, but the videos related with this section don´t mention this topic.

I love all the micro economics topics and think they are great, however all of them are videos. I would love to see some reading assigments. Not all people are visual learners, and just a couple of paragraphs would help a lot. Thanks

Hi,

Does anyone know about which specific concepts are missing, from this course that are commonly on the AP exam?

Y'all rock.

I have recently completed the entire AP micro coursework in preparation for the CLEP (college credit for grownups) Microecon exam. Among other free online practice tests and free micro coursework, I have found Khan lessons and quizzes to be the most rigorous, both conveying and requiring the most fluency and intuition on the subject matter.

hi5 and many thanks!
