I think I am getting it (am I?)

I agree with everything said thus far and took the exam last month-even if you know something about a subject area it is unlikely that you would know the exact words IC flashcards require first time through. The IC Specific Exam feedback is right on for this exam.

I knew NOTHING at all about economics before I started and do not like doing math problems on timed tests which makes this an "irritating" subject for me to learn! In the beginning it was painful, but in the end (about 9 days later) I felt quite comfortable with the material and did well on the test (see signature). I needed a high score to get alternate credit. I primarily used the IC flashcards and supplemented it with the awesome SparkNotes website on Economics (less material to read than a class book on Macroeconomics) to get more context and just read a different explanation when I was not getting something on IC. I did borrow a few books from the library, but in the end IC and SparkNotes were the resources I used the most. I also found a website that graphically displays the basic impact of changing supply and demand variables to help cement the concept in a more visual way.

Compared to Principles of Finance (which I am studying for now), Macroeconomics was a much less "irritating" exam for me - which makes sense as Principles of Finance is upper level material!

Let us know how you do!
