macro peterson scores

[Weldy]

I took two peterson macro economics test, one last week and scored 38% and another today and scored 50%. I am thinking of taking the clep tomorrow. Should I try it? Are the petersons harder?

[BELLA]

seems like most of the time petersons are more gruelling......

that said, maybe you should hold off, test a little higher ......

you don't want to risk failing and subjected yourself to the 6mth wait......

I tend to agree with BELLA. I would probably study a little more and then try the Peterson's tests again. Once you can take a Peterson's test and correctly answer over half the questions, then you should take the actual test.

Peterson's does seem to be somewhat harder than the real exam, but not excessively so.

When I studied for the Macro exam, I used the Barron's book Macroeconomics: The Easy Way. However, in hindsight, I think the book Cracking the AP Economics Exam would have been more helpful. The Barron's book was pretty deep (more so than it needs to be for the CLEP).

Happy Testing!

I would try to get a little more than that.
