    Default taking macro tuesday

    Ok gang, I am taking Macroeconomics tuesday, wish me luck, any last minute advice? I actually feel very confident after using the IC for almost a month. I took the sample test and got 45 out of 60 correct about a week ago and am still studying. Weird experience, a friend had mentioned that Obama's economic policy was going to be increase taxes and expand government programs, and I said "well that won't work, that pulls recovery in two different directions, the taxes will offset the gov spending, stifle growth and move us towards stagflation". Everybody looked at me funny like I was the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz when he gets a brain!

    Default macroeconomics

    Hey guys, I will clep macroeconomics very soon. I need more feedbacks from folks who took this test already. The last thread from the feedback section was 3 months ago. I am currently using ITC flashcards, and I am afraid it is not enough because collegeboard does pay attention on inflation, unemployment, and stabilization policies, which are slightly mentioned in ITC.
    Thanks for your response.

    I took both Macro and Micro with IC and Petersons. I went thru all of the IC material about 5 times and went thru each of the 3 Petersons tests twice. If you hit it hard with both the IC and Petersons you shouldn't have to much of a problem.

    I just took this exam on Saturday and scored a 56. Honestly, I would not worry too much about this exam if you have gone over IC enough. From what I have heard, if you know the material in IC well, you should do fine. I am probably setting a bad example for myself and others, but this was another one where I simply studied a little the night before and a couple hours before the exam. I did not use IC on this one, just wikipedia and sparknotes. My exam was the version with 80 questions and 5 possible answers. None of the questions are very in depth, you just need a basic understanding of all the concepts.

    Yeah, I did not feel too great about the test until I got my score. I think the only reason I have been able to cram like that is because of the VERY helpful info on the specific exam feedback forum. There may not have any recent posts for this exam, but it is still right on.
