    Default Macroeconomics difficulty

    I've taken one of the exams on Peterson's, and it seemed much more difficult than the sample exam on the official College Board study guide. Can anyone verify whether the actual Macroeconomics test questions are less difficult than Peterson's exams?

    Thanks in advance.

    my husband and i both thought that the peterson's exam was harder than the actual clep test. we used instantcert almost exlusively, googled a few things, and did the practice tests. we scored a 75 and 72, easily and a from excelsior.

    I have found that both Petersen's and REA's exams are usually more difficult than the real thing and the those found in "cracking the clep" are usually more on target.

    Yes, I found this to be the case as well. Unfortunately, Cracking the CLEP only contains full length sample tests for the general exams.

    I also have found the Peterson's mock exams to be more difficult than the actual exams. In every subject, I scored higher on the actual CLEP than I did on the Peterson mocks.

    I did the practice test for the Peterson's online and the REA in the book, and they are SO MUCH harder than the actual CLEP.
