For instance, I spent a bunch of time practicing various types of math problems that were not on the math test at all. 

I plan to take Micro and Macro Economics this summer. The latest books from CLEP show these tests as being pretty much 100% math problems. I am looking for anyone who has taken these tests recently who can confirm how much was math, and how much was concept knowledge.

Thanks very much.

1. Microeconomics: This test does include some math, but there are a lot of conceptual questions too. In my experience, about 30-40% of the test consisted of math problems, mainly related to graph analysis, elasticity calculations, and cost analysis. The rest was theory, definitions, and understanding basic economic concepts.
   
2. Macroeconomics: There's some math here as well, but it's at a similar level to Microeconomics. There were many questions on monetary and fiscal policy, economic indicators, and global economic trends. Math made up about 30-35% of the test, with the rest being conceptual questions.
