Aggregate Demand and Supply Practice
Open a recessionary or inflationary gap, then step time forward and watch short-run aggregate supply slide the economy back to potential. Then answer five exam-style questions on shifts, supply shocks, and the vertical long-run curve.
One tile of the full aggregate demand and supply unit.
The course teaches aggregate demand and supply interactively — drag the graphs, practice with feedback, and spaced reviews bring it back before you forget. Free.

Five practice questions
Pick an answer, then click Check answer to see the explanation.
Question 1 of 5
The aggregate demand curve plots total real GDP demanded against the price level, and it slopes downward. Which set of reasons explains that downward slope?
Question 2 of 5
Households grow more optimistic about the future and start spending more at every price level. What happens on the AD–AS diagram?
Question 3 of 5
The price of oil — a key input across the economy — rises sharply. In the short run, what happens?
Question 4 of 5
The long-run aggregate supply curve is drawn vertical at potential output. What does that vertical shape imply?
Question 5 of 5
An economy is in a recessionary gap — real GDP is below potential. With no policy response, how does it self-correct over time?
What the course adds
Beyond this one page
The AD–AS unit walks through every shift factor, the difference between short-run and long-run supply, and how the economy self-corrects — on interactive graphs, with practice that targets the cases you keep getting wrong.
Spaced reviews
FSRS brings every concept back right before you'd forget. ~50% better retention than re-reading.
Per-concept mastery
Performance Factor Analysis tracks each sub-skill separately — you see which version of the idea is still wobbly.
Diagnostic placement
A short test skips you past what you already know. No re-learning the basics.
