Is AP Macroeconomics a good fit for high school students in Grades 9-12?
AP Macroeconomics is a good fit for students in grades 9-12 who are interested in business cycles and inflation and fiscal and monetary policy. CIT offers online or in-person lessons in Apgujeong, Gangnam, Seoul, in one-to-one or small-group formats. Students make free-response answers with graphs for each unit and an error log of corrected graphs and reasoning.
Starting from scarcity and opportunity cost, students read the state of a whole economy through GDP, unemployment, and price indices, then work through the AD-AS model, money and banking, the short- and long-run effects of stabilization policy, and exchange rates and the balance of payments across the six official units of AP Macroeconomics. After a short diagnostic, the starting unit is set by school progress and the time left before the exam, and each unit is practiced with graphs and free-response answers, correcting reasoning that went wrong. Alongside the score, the student builds the academic evidence an application can use: how they applied a core idea, why an answer failed, and how they revised it.

Useful evidence may include a market analysis, policy model, data product, decision memo, or tested business idea. Claims should stay tied to the evidence.
The evidence an application reads is what the student understood, completed, and can explain.
