Default Need advice on which CLEP to take next

As mentioned in a previous post, I missed passing the Microeconomics CLEP on Friday by two points (got a 48; needed 50 for p/f). I have to wait six months until I retake the Micro CLEP. In the meantime, thinking I would pass the Micro *sigh*, I am scheduled to take the Macro CLEP on June 16. I have one more CLEP to accomplish and that is Principles of Marketing. I have that one penciled in for September.

Here is my dilemma. If I start studying now for the Macro CLEP (test is on June 16), I know it'll help me in the long run with re-taking my Micro CLEP since I heard Macro is 'easier' and some people have recommended taking that one first. Let's say I pass Macro - I'll have to wait another five months from that point to re-take the Micro CLEP. Is it worth re-hashing the material in November for the Micro CLEP since it'll be a few months since my Macro CLEP? Or...should I just put aside he Micro/Macro stuff for now and start studying for the Marketing CLEP which I had scheduled for Sept.? Then...if I do that - I can reschedule the Macro for October and the Micro for November and then they won't have such a gap in between and I can retain the information since they'll be back to back CLEPs.

As much as I'd like to start studying for Macro now, it might make more sense to study for Marketing now and then study for both Macro and Micro in the fall since I'm not eligible to re-take the Micro until November.

Any suggestions on how to proceed from here? Also, how is the Principles of Marketing CLEP for those who have taken it? I hear it's fairly easy but I'd like some perspectives on those who have taken it recently.

Thanks.
