Macroeconmics clep - a few questions
#1
First, how hard is this test? I'm getting barely passing scores with Peterson and have the weekend to study before my test on Monday. The questions from InstantCert seem quite a bit different and it's tough to know my exact score because of how easy it is to substitute words. But I think I'm getting at least 2/3rds of the questions correct.

Second question: can you bring a calculator to do some of the basic math required for the formulas? It's easy math of course but I'd like to save the time and risk of error if possible.

Thanks in advance.

I think getting 2/3 correct on Peterson's will certainly get you a pass on this exam. The questions are quite similar to the ones on the real exam.

As for the InstantCert questions, I don't think they're supposed to mimic the actual exam. They're meant to be a tool to help you learn the concepts and key terms. If you're not finding the fill-in-the-blank method helpful, maybe try to use the Q&A's in a different way. For example, when you run into a question about demand-pull inflation that you already know the "answer" to, ask yourself, "do I really know what demand-pull inflation is?" If you feel you know the concept, move on. If you don't, jot down the question or copy it onto a Word file, and do this for all the areas you're unsure of. At the end, you can study them all in a study guide format. Just a suggestion...

Calculators aren't allowed for any CLEP. Only mathematics CLEPs provide an online calculator.

I would recommend focusing on IC - I ONLY used IC and got a 61 on micro and a 62 on macro. And get CLEP's practice test. I always see at least on test item that is exactly like one from their practice.


Good luck!

I used IC and Princeton Review as study guides. I was pleasantly surprised that there were not as many graphs on the Macro clep as IC would suggest. IC was probably using the all their graphs to help the student understand the concepts. My point is that you really dont need to memorize all the formulas and graphs to pass the test. You really need to understand the concepts enough to answer fundamental questions in multiple choice format. That is my observation I wanted to share based on my test version.
