My score on macroecon was 48 and it was the only test I failed. I went on to take Straighterline, and did pass microecon with no problem.
I had read that macro was easy and I got over-confident and didn't study enough, that's really all there was to it. The feedback that you'll find here is invaluable in helping to determine what to study, but don't look at comments about what is "easy" and what is "difficult" as this will vary widely from person to person. Yes, I did take it seriously when people said that a specific test was particularly difficult, but I learned to realize that every subject is easy to someone here. Ha ha - lots of people here are smarter than me!!
My rule of thumb was that I would study for one or two weeks for each test, but no more. I figured that if I couldn't get it down within two weeks, I would just take a class. I had some close calls with Finance and Money & Banking, but thankfully the only one I had to re-do was macro.
Hang in there and don't let it get you down! It can be hard to get back in the swing of things after a fail, but you can do it!!!
