Thanks for the advice. I'm trying to squeeze this exam and another by January 18th. So I took it and FAILED. I was so sad. However, I was trying to teach myself this whole subject and it's contents in less than 4 weeks. I have NEVER been exposed to macro before....So, I either will have to wait 6 months or try a DANTES exam in Cultural Geography (again another subject which I am NOT familiar with).
Thanks though.
I had 4 weeks in between my last CLEP and this one. However, Thanksgiving and my sister in law's wedding fell in between there. Realistically I had about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks to study and TEACH myself this concept. I was not familiar with economics at all. So, I agree with another member...you can't just memorize - you have to COMPLETELY understand the concepts fully. I read the whole Demystified book and read/did the practice tests of REA (42, 44 scores) and reviewed flashcards from IC. However, I came into this COLD turkey. So, I didn't pass (39).... I was very disappointed because I WORKED very hard. But the test had many questions harping on the same few concepts...So, if you're brain is not completely wrapped around them, it's easy to get confused. However, if you have a general knowledge already, I'm sure you would have a MUCH better chance than I did!!
