    Default Money and Banking really sucks!!!

    Okay, just got back from taking Money and Banking and all I can say is, "WHOA!"

    This was a tough test. By far, the hardest of any exam that I have taken, hoprfully the hardest that I will ever take. Of the 94 questions, I only knew about 10 of them for certain. I really had to rely on my test-taking skills for this one...I did not get an A, but I did pass with a 52, 48 was the minimum score!!! I think that is a B at EC???

    Anyway, I spent 1 week on this exam and despite other recommendations from the Specific Exam Thread, I only used IC for this exam, no practice exams, no supplemental resources, hooray for IC!!!

    I wish I could buy stock in IC...

    Anyway, this is probably an exam that requires more than 1 week of study and supplemental study on monetary policy and the FED would probably be helpful.

    I am really happy to have this one down, because I think it was the hardest test that I had left...now onto Management Information Systems...
