5.0 out of 5 stars Great CLEP Prep Book!, November 13, 2006
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Economics (Cliffs Quick Review) (Paperback)
I just took both micro and macro economic CLEP tests, and passed both with a 63 and 60 respectively. The only studying I used was this book, coupled with a little online research and the offical CLEP practice tests. It worked great! However, this book does not cover the exchange market, so I suggest that you research this a little before taking the test.

3.0 out of 5 stars For CLEP tests this should not be you only resource., April 11, 2007
By 
Pete Hardison (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Economics (Cliffs Quick Review) (Paperback)
These reviews on Economics Cliffs Quick Review are outdated. Do not take the econimics CLEP tests if you have never taken a CLEP test before. If you want to take the Economics CLEP tests and you want really high grades you can go ahead and buy this book but it should not be your only resource. You should buy the REA guide(s) CLEP Microeconomics (Rea) - The Best Test Prep for the CLEPCLEP Microeconomics W/CD (Rea) - The Best Test Prep for the CLEPfor these CLEP tests which are not out yet but should be available in about 3 months. Yes these reviews are outdated-since then they have added questions about externalities which are not well explained (for CLEP test purposes) in this book. Be careful. Don't get in a hurry. By all means be patient and get the CLEP credit that you deserve!

5.0 out of 5 stars ATTN AP Econ and College Students, February 21, 2002
By 
W. Chiu (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Economics (Cliffs Quick Review) (Paperback)
I used this book for the AP Macro and Micoeconomics exams, and I scored two 4's. I am currently taking Introduction to Economics at UC Berkeley, and this book serves as a better resource than the expensive textbook.

I got an A in UCB's Econ 1 course.
