AP Economics

            Today, I had my AP economics exam so I was unable to go Ameriprise in Fall River. The exam took up all of the working day as the Macro module was in the morning and Micro in the afternoon. I found the Macro multiple choices, which consisted of sixty questions manageable, and the free response also went well. I was able to write a lot and give in depth explanation to the Macroeconomics affects to the objectives of low inflation, low unemployment, steady economic growth and balance of payments.

The Micro multiple choice was a little more demanding, I find this module slightly harder so I was less confident on this one. The free response questions consisted on efficiency, market types, and comparative advantage. My college in the UK takes AP credit but I need to fine out if they count that towards freshmen year or if it’s just counted as a type of entrance requirement equivalent to A-levels.

After the exam I had my usually sailing practice in the afternoons. I am part of the JV team; I have loved going out in the afternoons, and especially when it’s sunny! I think some of my team has enjoyed hearing about my days on my internships as they usually ask how its all going and express some interest in wanting to know more information about certain aspects. It is also a great way for me to put into my own words what I felt I learnt from the day, half the time it surprises me just how much I have picked up! I have found my senior project has been very helpful for gaining knowledge on fields, which will be usually in everyday life and of that when I have money I would like to invest in life insurance, annuities and mortgages! My friends mum is looking to buy a house this summer, when my friend mentioned if I knew anything about mortgages I was quietly satisfied to give an explanation of what there about and how now is a great time to take one out due to the all – time low rate of which I wrote about on Tuesday’s blog.

I have started to plan my presentation for next Friday morning. I have taken pictures of the team at each of the internships to give a visual aspect to my power point. This weekend I will work on fine-tuning it for the first practice on Sunday evening.
