Each question includes a detailed explanation and the game helps students keep track of their speed with an AP Exam calibrated timer. After students finish the exam, they get a break down of their score by question topic. Check it out and let me know what you think by clicking the contact button in the footer.

Foreign Exchange Multiple Choice
My students often struggle to complete their multiple choice questions within the time limitations of the AP exam. One minute and ten seconds per question isn’t much time considering how difficult some of the questions are. To help students prepare for the multiple choice section of the AP Economics exam, I have created the first multiple choice practice game covering Foreign Exchange Markets, Balance of Payments, and Comparative Advantage. I plan to make more in the coming months. The questions are AP style and include explanations for each answer. The game tracks your time and lets you know if you are working fast enough after each question. It’s also mobile compatible so you can practice on the go. Try it out and let me know if you have any feedback!
Macroeconomics Flash Cards
4 flashcard games with a total of 240 questions and answers covering all of Macroeconomics are now completed. These activities are mobile compatible so you can study on the go with a phone or table and prepare for your next Macroeconomics exam wherever you are.
Mobile Compatible Flashcards
I’ve spent the last few weeks learning to code in HTML5 so that new games and activities on this site can be played on mobile devices. My first two mobile compatible activities are a set 44 flashcards for Macroeconomics basics and a set of 81 flashcards for Macroeconomics AS/AD & Fiscal Policy. They cover vocab, math formulas, explanation points for FRQ’s, and graphs. Take a look and hit the contact link to let me know what you think!
For Teachers
Over the last year, I’ve been assigning the flash review games on this site to my students as homework. I decided I needed a way to make sure they are actually completing them and create some accountability. I changed the final score page for every game so that it contains some important information (shown below) to help me verify student work. After playing the games, students submit a screenshot of the final score page in a google doc worksheet through google classroom. You can see an example in the link below.
If you have any other ideas for how teachers can use resources on this site in their classroom, please contact me in the link below! I hope to make a page featuring ideas for classroom use in the near future.
Thank you!
