And those graphs with like 5 lines in them, they're making me crazy!
Anyway, I took one Peterson's exam, and scored 73%, which is good and enough to pass, but I want to get a 60 for my A. I'm definitely taking this tomorrow, because if I go through the weekend with all this I might go insane (I'm even dreaming microeconomics)!
Ha ha, I know EXACTLY how you feel.
I often find myself "reviewing" my study notes while I sleep. Also, once I have studied enough, and feel ready to take the exam, I HAVE to take it as soon as possible...before my brain begins to hemorrhage the information.
hilarious
If you are scoring 73% on the Peterson's, I have every confidence that you will do equally as well on the real thing.
Make the most of your studied today, and then go and kick some CLEP butt tomorrow!
Best of luck,

Snazzlefrag Well thanks for the vote of confidence, but...
I just finished the 50-question mock exam from the official study guide, and I only got 56%. I don't know if this mock test reflects the real Micro exam, but if it does I'm not so sure I'll do so well. I found it harder than Peterson's version. All the questions required you to really apply the concepts, and it seems i'm very lacking! Does anyone have any thoughts on the sample tests from the College Board and Peterson's and the real thing?
Despite this, I'll take the exam tomorrow. At this point I'm hoping for at least a B.

Be confident! It's not easy to get a 73% on the Peterson's.
You can only do the best that you can Ana. That's all anybody expects of you.
Do great tomorrow and come back with good news for us!

Snazzlefrag I think Snazzlefrag should become a motivational speaker! hilarious
You actually made me feel better! Thanks!
For anyone who wants an additional study source if they don't "get" something in Microeconomics, I found a nice little outline that's clear and concise and has cleared a few things up for me.

Links like that are SO helpful Ana.
Whenever somebody posts a resource link, regardless of which exam it is for, I always save it in my Favorites folder for future use (even if I am not yet ready to take that particular exam). When the time comes for me to take the exam, I already have a list of useful web sites to aid in my studies.
Thanks Ana,

i looked up my test scores for micro and i found two peterson's test scores. i didn't mark which test was which, but i think on the first test i got a 73%, same as you, and on the second test i got a 70%. my clep score was 69, easily enough for an A from excelsior. good luck to you today! you'll do fine!!!

Hi Dawn,
Thanks for that info! I took a second Peterson's last night, and scored 71%. Your score results are really reassuring. I'm heading out to take the exam now. Thanks to everyone for your support!

Ok, just took the CLEP Microeconomics, and passed with a 58, which gives me a B. I was disappointed to have missed the A/60 mark by 2 points, but I will take my score and run with it. I'll be happy if I never have to hear, see, or speak microeconomics again!
