About EconLearn
Most AP Econ study tools hand you a wall of text and hope for the best. On EconLearn, you can drag the supply curve, watch deadweight loss show up on the graph, and then answer AP-style questions about what you just saw.
Who built it
EconLearn was built by Jude Wallis, a high school student at Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach, California, who placed 2nd internationally at the Economics Olympiad (econolympiad.org). That's the lens behind every module: the economics has to be rigorous, and the graphs have to reward curiosity.
His AP Economics teacher serves as the classroom advisor and reviews the site from a teaching perspective.
Why This Exists
AP Economics is one of the most graph-heavy AP exams. The FRQ section practically lives on diagrams like AD/AS, supply and demand, and cost curves. Static prep materials do not help much when you need to see a shift happen and explain it under time pressure.
That disconnect between how you study and how you get tested is the whole reason EconLearn was built.
Each module has written content alongside an interactive graph. You move the curves, the numbers update, and the explanation on the left connects to what you see on the right. It sticks better than re-reading highlighted notes at 1 AM.
What's Included
24 modules across AP Micro and AP Macro. 398 multiple-choice questions, each one with an explanation instead of just the right answer. 144 flashcards if you want something quick before the test. 17 graphs you can interact with. A dashboard that tracks quiz scores, streaks, and how far along you are.
Everything on the student side is free. Teachers can add classroom management, assignable lessons, and exam mode on top of that.
Who Uses EconLearn
Mostly high school students studying for the AP Micro or Macro exam. It also works for intro econ students or anyone who wants to understand how markets function beyond the textbook definition. If you learn by moving things around and testing ideas, the site is built for that.
In the News
YFS Magazine, a global publication for founders and small-business owners, published a piece by EconLearn's founder, Jude Wallis, on what building the platform taught him about customers: “What Building My First Product in High School Taught Me About Customers”. EconLearn is also recognized by the Colorado Department of Education, which lists it in its economics resource bank alongside Khan Academy and EconEdLink.
For Teachers
If you teach AP Economics and want to try EconLearn with a class this year, the classroom tools include a teacher dashboard, assignable lessons, and exam mode. Teachers get a free pilot semester with no credit card and no purchase order; after that it's $15 per student per year, or $10 above 100 students. EconLearn is listed in the Colorado Department of Education's economics resource bank, alongside EconEdLink and Khan Academy. For pilots above a single classroom, email hello@econlearn.org and we'll set it up.
Still Building
New modules, better graphs, and more practice questions get added on a rolling basis. Found a mistake? Have an idea for a graph? Email hello@econlearn.org.
