AP MacroeconomicsInteractive graph labs, unit by unit

Master the graphs by moving them.

AP Macro makes sense when you can move it. Drag the curves, test the scenarios the exam asks about, and play review games. Every graph in the course is built to be moved.

02For students

Stop staring. Start shifting.

A textbook graph sits still. These don’t. Grab a curve, shift it, and see price, quantity and the story behind them change the moment you let go.

Fig. 2 Instant feedback

Drag it. Shift it. Watch it click.

Labs respond the instant you move: shortages, surpluses and the new equilibrium appear in real time, and the practice games tell you right away whether you nailed the shift.

Try a Unit 1 lab

Correct. Demand rose, so P↑ and Q↑.

Meet Moo Cao

Your moves, his mood.

In the shift games he reacts to every move, so you always know how you’re doing.

Sweats while you slide
Dances when you nail it
Sulks when you miss
