I took the Macroeconomics CLEP in January, and got a 56. As far as I remember, I mostly used the REA book for this test, as well as the Macroeconomics Demysified book. I also used the Learning Network, but that's exclusive to CollegePlus! students. It's actually pretty similar to Instantcert, so you should be fine using it with this test.
This was a nice test, not too hard, but not too far into the easy zone either.
BTW, If you take Microeconomics after this, I think You'll find it a lot easier to understand from studying the Macro test.

The best way to pass is to study and don't go in under-prepared.
I know this won't help you now, but for others planning on taking the economic tests I recommend getting macro/micro economic textbooks (I got mine through a library) written by an author named Mankiw. These books are on the list of books recommended by clep.
