Course Concept

AP Microeconomics is a high school course that introduces students to the principles and concepts of microeconomics. It explores how individuals and firms make decisions regarding the allocation of scarce resources and the interactions that occur in various economic systems.

AP Microeconomics emphasizes the application of economic concepts to real-world scenarios. Students develop analytical and critical-thinking skills as they apply economic models to understand decision-making at the individual and firm level. They also explore the implications of economic policies and examine the role of government in promoting efficiency and equity.

  • Basic Economic Concepts: Students learn about the fundamental principles of economics, including the concepts of scarcity, opportunity cost, and supply and demand. They study how markets work and how prices are determined.
  • Supply and Demand: The course delves into the theory of supply and demand, exploring how changes in market conditions, such as price and quantity, affect the behavior of buyers and sellers. Students analyze factors that can shift supply and demand curves and how these changes impact equilibrium prices and quantities.
  • Consumer Behavior: Students study the theory of consumer behavior, analyzing how individuals make choices based on preferences, constraints, and budget constraints. They examine utility maximization, indifference curves, and the concept of elasticity of demand.
  • Producer Behavior and Market Structures: The course explores how firms make decisions regarding production, costs, and profit maximization. Students learn about different market structures, including perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly. They study the behavior of firms in these market structures and the implications for pricing and output decisions.
  • Factor Markets and Income Distribution: Students examine how resources, such as labor and capital, are allocated in factor markets. They learn about the factors that influence wage determination and income distribution.
  • Market Failure and Government Intervention: The course covers market failures, such as externalities and public goods, and explores how government intervention can address these failures. Students analyze government policies, such as taxes, subsidies, and regulations, and evaluate their impacts on market outcomes.

    expand_more

    The earlier the better! When students come to us right before it is time to apply to college, there is only so much we can do. We can certainly help these students with score improvements and craft as compelling an application as possible, but we are given experiences and data points that cannot be altered.

    When students come to us early in their educational careers, we pair them with a counselor to help them develop as applicants, students, and people early on. We help students strategize early, build their profiles, and stand out from their peers. We help students explore and develop their academic interests, engage in unique and meaningful extracurricular activities, strengthen their personal qualities and leadership skills, and ultimately, position them to get into the best schools possible. We start building on your academic foundations so you have enough time to ace your SAT test.

    It takes A LOT of hard work, strategy, determination, and self-reflection to get into the school of your dreams. At AP Guru, we are here, every step of the way, to help you get there.

  • Do test prep courses work?
    expand_more

    Yes! Standardized tests focus on a small, unique set of skills and topics. By knowing exactly what types of questions are on the test, a student gains a distinct advantage. Furthermore, a great tutoring company can build on this advantage by providing a highly individualized learning experience and a wealth of fantastic strategies for all types of students.  We have the evidence from thousands of students across 10+ years that great improvement is possible for nearly everyone.

  • Do you only help students who want to go to top schools?
    expand_more

    No. We know that each student is different and has unique goals and aspirations. Our focus is to help each student excel in the tests and exams they are preparing towards.

  • What kind of results should I expect?
    expand_more

    In terms of academic scores, for students not already at the top of the range, we typically want to see at least a 20 percentile rank improvement (the actual raw score this translates to varies across the scale). Going from the 50th to 70th percentile or from the 70th to 90th typically opens up a whole new range of schools for students.
