I'm so frustrated, I failed Microeconomics today. I had no topics that were listed in specfic feed back. Instead of showing the graphs, they are all written out like a story problem. arrrgggggg well I guess I can give it another go in 6 months..
Hopefully this is my 1st and last faill.

Thanks
I studied everything I could find, specific feedback - looked up everything that was suggested. Watched MIT opencourseware, practic tests, multiple websites.
I went with a friend and she definitely had a different exam than I did. The only 'low hanging' question I had was about opportunity cost. Everything else was graph questions, but without a graph. It was written out. Worded very ambiguously.
Ahh makes me worried about a re-take.
Thanks for hearing my rant. I'm just grumpy today because I'm sick and failed.
I will stop now and think of my next exam.

My personal favorite is the REA book. You really need to "get it" on these micro and macro tests. The REA books are a great read and they take you step by step through the concepts in an easy to understand format. The practice tests are also great preparation. Supplement with Spark Notes and flash cards.

Awwww.....bummer. I failed one too, and it's hard not to let it get you down, but try to keep your chin up. You've passed many already, you'll pass more too

How frustrating, but you've got exactly the right approach. Put it aside, and work on other tests.
There's a line from a poem, and it goes something like this, "Success is counted sweetest by those who ne'er succeed." I think that those of us who fail a time, or two learn to appreciate how hard these exams are. You've done well on lots of other exams; be proud of that.

Sorry to hear about not passing Micro. Maybe you should take it at PennFoster or a corse similar just to get it over with. Plus Micro should help you with Macro. Maybe you should look at Macro now.

Sorry to take so long to get back.
I did practice with IC. And I plan on Macro next (God help me lol).
I haven't decided yet on PennFoster, but it is a possibility..
Thank you all for your support!!!
