Review of Micreconomics TECEP

[sanantone]

After passing my third TECEP without having to read a large textbook from cover to cover, I'm starting to wonder why some people have made these exams out to be such a scary, daunting task. Of course, some subjects are just inherently difficult, but the tests themselves aren't all that bad.

I passed Microeconomics last night with a 71%. The score needed to pass is 70%. Now, that sounds low, but I only studied for a couple of hours by going through the InstantCert flashcards once. If I had more time, I would have gone through them twice and read a Wikipedia entry or something similar to fill in the gaps. IC didn't cover one of the experiments mentioned on the test or the reasons by behind passing some of the antitrust and trade laws. To add, I was mentally exhausted by the time I took the test because I had just taken three lab quizzes and a unit exam for my biology course at NMJC.

Also, microeconomics wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Economics is just like any other social science just with more numbers and graphs. It's still the study of human behavior, which I'm very familiar with.
