CLEP Macroeconomics or Microeconomics?

[ephillips]

I have never taken economics and I have three weeks to study for the test. I do not know which CLEP test I should study for, macro or microeconomics?

Any suggestions or advice? Thank you so much!

After taking the Macroeconomics test and now prepping for the Microeconomics test, I wish I had taken the Microeconomics test first.

Thanks, what study material did you use?

I used the flashcards from Speedy Prep. I liked them a lot better for Macro and Micro economics and a study guide for the AP Macro and Micro Economics test. I also picked up a old college textbook.

Be sure to utilize Khan Academy's stuff if you learn well via videos/blackboard style. Some excellent info on there.

Thanks, I am thinking of doing straighterline and get Macro done in a month as I don't know if I can risk failing the Clep exam. I have to finish school and all my credits by December. Does anyone have any info about the Macroeconomics Straighterline course? Thank you much

Also check out sparknotes.
I read the REA books and they were great.

I used the book Microeconomics Demystified, and passed with a 66.

Micro is easier than Macro, at least to me. I use the Macroeconomics Demystified on Macro, and made a 62.

I'm doing Macro with Straighterline, just started. If you are a fast reader/learner, you can finish in a week or two. The SL format works for me, but I purchased the course before the 11/1 proctored final requirement. You can find the book on Amazon for less than $5 used.
