AP Macroeconomics Skills Worth Reviewing
Shift versus movement
An off-axis determinant shifts a curve; a change on an axis usually creates movement along it.
Nominal versus real
Remove the price-level change before claiming that production or purchasing power changed.
Money and bond prices
Bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions.
Currency chains
Trace capital flows to currency demand or supply before predicting appreciation and net exports.

How should I use the two practice tests?
Take Test 1 as a diagnostic, repair the weakest chapters, then take Test 2 as a fresh readiness check.
Are the ten private online book tests exposed here?
No. The Online Center exposes only its two public 20-question practice forms. The ten book-access test URLs remain private.
