Macroeconmics clep - a few questions

[anar579]

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.
