Any calculator should work, you just need to make sure you know the formulas.
Example: slope and intercept of a straight line y= a + bx (x=vertical axes or independent variable, y=horizontal axes or dependent variable, a= intercept, and b=the slope), it wasn't hard math, I just didn't pay attention enough to do it. For me, I never did well with graphs. I was always much better at the linear equations, so because I didn't have the linear equations in my head, I had a rough time with the first test.
Anyways here is some other information I figured I would share with everyone:
For anyone taking both Macro and Micro economics with Straighterline; you should know that the first 5 topics are the same for both courses. This means that the exam questions are pretty much the same type of questions as well. The only difference is that Macro Quizzes are 40 questions and Micro's are 30.
I have taken up to exam 5 for both courses now and aside from exam 1 on Macro I have not gotten below a 95% on any other exam. Here are some extra study references I am using.
Here is the Web-study for Macroeconomics: Macroeconomics
