How this works
Sixteen questions in the official mock style, drawn from the whole course: both midterms' territory, fresh numbers throughout.
Real rules: 40 minutes on the clock, +1 for a right answer, −⅓ for a wrong one, 0 for a blank. You can change answers freely until you hand in.
No feedback until the end, exactly like the real thing. When you hand in (or the clock runs out), everything gets graded, explained, and sorted by which lesson to revisit.
Strategy reminder from Macro-00: answer when you can eliminate even one option; leave it blank only when a question is pure fog.
Before you start, your toolkit
from Macro-00 and Macro-01 The five question patterns and the measurement formulas. Deflator tables, rate denominators, growth splitting: patterns 1 and 2 open every exam gently.
from Macro-02, 03, 04 The long-run machines: the pantry (S = Y − C − G, crowding out), the arcade rule (π = money growth − output growth, then i = r + π), the bathtub (u* = s/(s+f)) and the wage-floor check.
from Macro-05, 06, 07 The short-run machines: the cockpit reflex table (which curve, which way), the mattress two-frame recipe (dent, then spring-back), the escalator and the sacrifice-ratio recipe.
from Macro-00 The scoring game. A blank costs nothing. A guess after one elimination is already worth it on average. Panic is the only strategy that scores negative.
Ready?
The clock starts when you press the button. Sit somewhere quiet, take the full experience, and remember: the real exam needs 9 of 16, not 16 of 16.
