If you have a basic knowledge about the subject, how long does it take to get a good(65~75) score?
For example, I've read Principles of Microeconomics(by Mankiw) once kind of throughly. Roughly how much time do you guys think I need if i study 4~5h per day? a month? a week?

and roughly how many questions do you have to get to get 75?

Welcome to the IC-Forums-Classroom!

You raise a few interesting (first time questions). To begin, MicroE is a somewhat complex topic that can be mastered but it will take some time, a few weeks.

Take a look at my additional resource list below and you will see several different useful sources. IC is second to none, yet some topics (like MicroE) may need some other tools, I used a few.

Aside from IC, I used (for this exam) the REA book, Cliffs Quick Review book, Standard Deviants video, and Petersons practice exams. I also studied a few hours a day (2-3) for 3-weeks. The first 1 1/2 weeks is devoted to straight study (reading, and the 4R's). The next 1 1/2 weeks was devoted to re-reading AND taking practice exams (REA, Petersons). Had I done well in those practice exams 50 or better I would sit the real exam....and pass.

A 75 (75th percentile) is a pretty high score (80 is the highest) so you would have to answer the greater majority correctly. Remember, a 50 (50th percentile) is a PASS so be guided by that as well.

Please be sure to use the search feature as the MicroE exam has been discussed many-many-many times before and there are other existing threads out there that can and will help you.

Good Luck!!
