Start your AP Microeconomics journey the right way with a free level assessment and one-on-one consultation. Study with expert tutors on a fully personalised plan.
AP Microeconomics is an advanced course run by the College Board that is equivalent to an introductory university-level microeconomics course. It examines how individual consumers, firms and markets make decisions; supply and demand, elasticity, cost structures and market types are central to the course. It is strong preparation for high-school students interested in economics, business, finance or public policy.
The exam has two sections: multiple-choice questions and free-response questions (FRQs). The FRQ part asks you to draw graphs, show changes on a model and explain the results. A high AP Microeconomics score strengthens an application file and can earn introductory course credit at many universities.
Every lesson is taught by expert tutors who know the AP Microeconomics format inside out and focus on exam strategy.
After your level assessment, we build a personal roadmap around your strengths and weak spots.
Lessons run online and one-on-one on days and times that suit you — no clashes with school.
It starts with a free assessment and consultation — you begin knowing the plan, timeline and goal.

The AP Microeconomics exam has two sections — multiple-choice and free-response — and takes about 2 hours 10 minutes in total:
60 questions · 70 minutes · two-thirds of the score
3 questions · 60 minutes · one-third of the score
1 extended question · multi-part and graph-heavy
2 questions · focused on specific concepts
AP exams are scored on a 1–5 scale, with the multiple-choice and free-response sections combined into the final score. A 3 is generally considered passing, but selective universities ask for a 4 or 5 for credit or placement. A high AP Microeconomics score requires accurate graph drawing and clearly justifying changes in the model, and partial credit is possible on the free-response section.
AP Microeconomics suits high-school students interested in economics and business and does not require advanced math. AP exams are held each year in May. Because the content is cumulative, steady work across a semester is ideal for most students; making thinking with graphs a habit is central to preparation.
