I actually just replied to someone else about micro. There's a workbook you can get along with the text book. The one I had was several editions older, but I'm assuming the current required textbook has the workbook. If not, find it in the older edition. The information has not changed, just the layout and sometimes the chapter number was different in my older book. I only used the workbook. It had summaries of each chapter, followed by quizzes. I followed along with the excelsior study guide and did every quiz. I also did the excelsior practice tests. Don't freak when you do horrible on the 2 practice tests. I got a 48 and 52 I believe. The actual exam is much much easier. The practice tests were difficult but the real exam all the questions are basic and simplified. I got an A on the exam. Sure didn't expect that since I bombed the practice tests. Remember that a good portion of the questions on they practice tests show up on the exam. They are worded simpler on the final exam, but I recognized quite a few and was soo glad I paid for the practice test. Make sure you go over the answers for the tests and the rationales really helped me. I also used studyguide101.com for micro I felt like they had way too much info that I didn't need to know and it was way more complicated that necessary. That website was great with some of the other classes, but I ended up not using the micro one at all. I promise if you can find that workbook that goes with the textbook, you will pass that test! The textbook had very long and detailed chapters. The workbook simplified everything down and told you exactly what you needed to know. Good luck when you take the exam! You will do fine. I promise it is much much easier than you expect it to be!
