For those if you that completed and passed the exam how much study time did it take? What material did you use? Should I consider using the Khan academy videos?

Check the Exam feedback section for a list of study resources and user study guides. IC is enough to pass the CLEP and I also used some YouTube videos to explain the graph shifts.

I second koenigtv's suggestion to check out the feedback section and to use IC. I also used the Saylor course to study which I thought was really helpful....ECON102: Principles of Macroeconomics « Saylor.org – Free Online Courses Built by Professors. You can check out Principles of Macroeconomics CLEP Study Guide - Free-Clep-Prep.com too.
Also, if you will need to take Microeconomics in the future, you might want to consider taking them together as there is a lot of overlap between Macro and Micro.

This was excellent for Macroeconomics: Economics 102: Macroeconomics Course - Free Online Video Lessons | Education Portal. I went through all of the videos, and they really explained the concepts well. Check the topics with College Board's breakdown to make sure you cover them all because a few topics are missing. To fill in the blanks, I used IC flashcards and Principles of Macroeconomics -by- Libby Rittenberg and Timothy Tregarthen, particularly "international trade." The Peterson's practice tests were helpful as well. I also recommend the Official CLEP Study Guide (I scored 83% on the practice test.) because I have found it is usually a pretty good indicator of how I will do on the actual test.
Hope it goes well! Economics is a very interesting topic .
