AP Prerequisite Questionnaire

The current prerequisite for AP Macroeconomics is an A- in American Government and Economic Systems or a B in AP US History. These prerequisites have not been used consistently though. As a result, many students have been placed in the course regardless of meeting prerequisites. Given your experience in AP Macroeconomics, do these prerequisites make sense?
