Course and Exam Updates

Important updates have been made to the AP Macroeconomics course and exam that take effect with the 2022-23 school year (spring 2023 exam):

A four-function calculator is allowed on both sections of the exam. Note that this is strictly a change to the calculator policy and does not affect the exam format (number of sections, number of questions), the types of questions students may see on the exam, the course framework, or the skills.
The Monetary Policy topic of the course (topic 4.6) has been updated to account for monetary policy in a banking system with ample reserves. Teachers who already have a printed copy of the AP Macroeconomics Course and Exam Description can download the updated pages.
Exam questions will reflect the Federal Reserve's updated measurement of the monetary aggregates designated as M1 and M2. Please refer to the footnotes in the Fed's H.6 statistical release ("Money Stock Measures") for a description of the components. Note that there has been no change to the relevant learning objective (MEA-3.C) and essential knowledge statement (MEA-3.C.3) in the AP Macroeconomics Course and Exam Description.

The following resources have been developed to support teachers and students with these updates:

A video for teachers explaining the updates
Updated practice exams, which are available now for secure access by teachers on the Course Audit site and AP Classroom
Updated progress check questions, topic questions, question bank questions, and AP Daily videos on AP Classroom

AP Daily videos are short, searchable instructional segments you can:

assign to students before or after class to maximize time for discussion.
assign alongside topic questions to address misunderstandings.
encourage students to take advantage of on their own, on mobile devices or computers.
track to see which students are watching each video in each class.

Topic questions are formative questions to check student understanding as you teach. Assign topic questions to reveal student misunderstandings and target your lessons.

Progress checks help you gauge student knowledge and skills for each unit through:

multiple-choice questions with rationales explaining correct and incorrect answers, and
free-response questions with scoring guides to help you evaluate student work.

My Reports highlights progress for every student and class across AP units.

The question bank is a searchable database of real AP questions. You can:

find topic questions and practice exam questions, indexed by content and skills.
search for any question, passage, or stimulus by text or keyword.
create custom quizzes that can be assigned online or on paper.
