I gotta study 6 chapters, My method is usually just studying all the bolds and italics and memorizing them, some common sense and this usually works just fine.

Could you guys do it? Its for Economics

That's not really a high grade. Should be do-able unless you blew off the course.

God I hate micro. Macro is so much more interesting.

I have a financial/micro exam in a couple of days too, and if I ever see another utility curve or consumption possibilities curve I think I'm going to go crazy.

I needed a 90 to bring my 67% in World Civ up on my last midterm (prof. drops the lowest grade) and I got an 86 which gave me a 90 in the class.

I KNOW! I thought it was alright in the introduction but it just kept coming up in every chapter it felt like we weren't really learning anything new. But yeah Im pretty confident Ill be fine, I just checked my marks online and saw that a recent assignment just got calculated into my marking scheme and now all I need to pass is a 37%

Now there isn't really a reason to worry.

Yeah micro sucks, umm I studied exactly what the prof taught us, and looked over watch she said in the textbook. The stuff in the book that she didn't talk about, wasn't anything to worry about, but it depends on your prof I guess.

My AP Econ teacher does Macro first. I don't really pay attention that much. The teacher is the head football coach, and I am friends with the best defensive player on the team and the quarterback(who got a scholarship to a DI school) and they are in that class so he doesn't really care. LoL, I love econ

Lol, all I have to get is above 50% to pass, meaning I don't have to try at all. It's just grade 9, so I don't. Anyways you should be able to. Just get on to studying right now.

It depends. If you are studying the chapters for the first time (i.e you fell asleep in class for half the year) then it is going to be mighty hard. I've tried this a few times (more than I liked last year, guess that's why I failed) but only to get a pass mark. I very rarely get over 60%, and my method is the same as yours as in memorising the important bits. However you will need to stay up the night to have any chance but that in turn makes you tired the next morning and you forget half the things you learnt, but I guess that's better than knowing nothing at all right? Unless the chapters are each 5 pages chances are you are going to fail and hard, unless of course you have a photographic memory. Even if you do manage to memorise the important bits chances are you will have a lot of 'apply knowledge' questions and that's when you're royally screwed. I'm going from experience but leaving it to the last day never works out good. It can work though, take last year I studied for my computer science course and came away with 59 (p.m is 40). However it also works the other way round, I aslo got an 8 (yes an 8 ) for a Math course unit. It really depends how easy it is but I'm guessing Economics is not, so in other words good luck.

Funny, I'm in highschool AP Economics, we've been doing Micro, and each of those two topics only really came up in one or two chapters. We've got two chapters left, and I don't expect to see them again. I'm assuming you guys are in college and, unless you're exaggerating, I find it weird that we seem to be covering more topics than you guys. Granted, you have probably seen every different form of those curves and delve further into the material, but it seems to me that highschool AP courses touch on a wider range of topics than do college courses. I've finished 1 in Freshman year and am taking 3 now in my Junior year, and this something I've noticed after talking to some of my friends and family and college.

If I can write a 21 page essay in a night, you can pass your class. Really you should read the chapters, but at least look for the part in each chapter in the front or back that gives you a gist of what's in the chapter so you know what to look for if you just skim it.

Why do people keep saying 76% is a high grade? At all the schools I've ever been to a 76% is barely passing. There must be something seriously different with your grading systems (guessing you're canadian) since I see people saying they only need a 35% on their final to pass their class (which over here would most likely cause you to fail your class).

Thy are just saying there grade is so good, that the only way to fail (get lower than a D) is to get a grade lower than a 35%. Not that they need a 35% to get the passing grade, but to not lose their passing grade they already have. If that makes sense.

I need a 41% on my final and I'm still worried. The class average has been around 50% on the two "midterms". EE-501 is a tough course:)
