EPTGGNORE
I'm wondering if anyone's knowledgeable about macroeconomics, by any chance? The final is 25~30 questions on only 3 chapters (6, 7 and 10) on the McConnel and Brue book if anyone's familiar.

What happens if you don't get the A- by the way, I know jack shit about american universities. In Holland you are supposed to get a 5.5 out of 10 grade to pass the course and that's about it. I just need the extra 3.7 instead of 3.4 to be elligible for this honor system in my college that would open more opportunity for grants and scholarships. The only reason why I believe it's possible is because of the relatively easy grading system and the general way my professor conducts class. I pretty much bs'ed the other tests because I underestimated this course that much, but I would say it's possible to get a 100 on this final since it's only on 3 chapters, all multiple choice, on less than 30 questions. | ||

 I've studied macroeconomics like... five years ago, and it's one very interesting discipline once you understand it properly. An eye-opener really. Granted, there are parts that are quite a drag to learn, but i don't see any easy way around that. I think the main thing macroeconomics teaches you is grasping the systemic character of an economy - and to understand that you need to figure out how that system works. What you could do to find studying easier... don't try to mechanically learn formulas and definitions, try to think of everything in cause & effect terms - how does a plus in one area translate in a minus somewhere else, how one factor affects everything around it, etc etc - and if necessary, try to translate that into mathematical expressions. Anywho, three chapters isn't much, read them twice, taking your time with it, focusing on understanding them rather than memorizing, and you should be fine. Unless you have a stupid teacher that expects you to know your answers from that book by heart. In which case... bad luck. edit: multiple choice tests SUCK for macroeconomics, simply because in many areas things aren't exactly cut in stone. That's probably gonna involve a lot more memorizing and a lot less reasoning | ||

Macro is like algebra. It doesn't really make sense for me as soon as i have to make some equations. + There are too many definitions to memorize. -.- | ||

@Frits: you're never going to stand a chance if you don't try. I've gotten 100% on a final to get an A- in the class. You should play instead of fold. Good Luck. | ||

Uh what's your point? I went to community college for a year to save money, then transferred to Rice, then went to medical school. Community college wasn't exactly that much easier than Rice if really at all. | ||
