Hah. I'm in the same situation. Except my exam isn't a take home. It's just 50 multiple choice. I fucking hate economics. I'd help you, but I barely cracked my book open during the semester. I only studied the night before the exam, usually all night, and I'm actually doing quite well, except I forget everything I crammed as soon as i leave the exam. Sorry, I'm no help.

i'd be happy to explain any theories/rules/examples to you...

but i'm not going to go through and do a 100question practice test so you can get answers and learn absolutely nothing.

if you need help, hit me up on AIM - BIGjohnson4043

p.s. i'm an econ major.
