I think if you can understand the material through some other outlet (i.e study manuals) I would recommend that. The study note is a tough read, especially if you haven't been exposed to the material before. Macro is the least tested part of the exam, so I would try to spend the time you would be reading the macro study note on something else.

Good luck!

I didn't read through the study note when I took the exam the first time around cause I was naive and thought I would get something out of the NEAS seminar econ section. That was a joke...I didn't get diddly squat out of Feldblum's econd presentation. I also didn't realize how many questions would be related to macro on the exam. Not saying this is what cost me the exam, but I think I would have had a better shot had I put a little more effort into the macro section.

Now, on my second attempt to pass this exam, I did read through the study note chapter by chapter. I just tried to get through a chapter a week. It wasn't all that bad. Since I had/have no background in Course 2 areas, I am not sure I would have understood as much had I read it while studying for the first attempt I had at Course 2.

I don't know which study manual to suggest using in place of actually reading the note. But if you can take small bites of it over a longer period of time, it might not seem so overwhelming.

Read the Macro study note, then use How to Pass 2 to highlight the frequent testable areas -> LEARN these formulas/associations very well as there are several type questions that show up on every exam

I used the temple study guide for macro and ignored the study note. I would suggest using a study guide and doing as many past exam problems as possible. I would stick to the exam probs and not the probs created by the study note wrighters becuase the exam commity tends to ask very similar questions in macro over time.
