PassProfessor’s Intermediate Macroeconomics program is a chapter-simulation program for students taking an intermediate macroeconomics course. You pick the course, then pick the textbook and edition your class uses, and the program builds chapter-based simulation exams optimized for that book’s chapter order — so the practice you do this week matches the chapter your instructor is teaching this week. The bank holds 988 original questions across 10 chapters plus three Intermediate Macroeconomics in Depth sets spanning the course’s long-run and short-run models, plus applied and synthesis sets, covering macroeconomic data and measurement, national income — production, distribution, and loanable funds, money, prices, and inflation in the long run, the open economy — exchange rates and the balance of payments, unemployment and the labor market, economic growth in the Solow model, technology, growth accounting, and convergence, economic fluctuations — aggregate demand and aggregate supply, the IS-LM model, Mundell-Fleming, and the Phillips curve, and consumption, investment, and government debt. There is no licensing exam at the end of an intermediate macroeconomics course — there is your instructor’s exam, chapter by chapter — and this program is built to rehearse exactly that.
PassProfessor’s Intermediate Macroeconomics program is a chapter-simulation program for the second, post-principles undergraduate macroeconomics course: 988 original practice questions across 10 chapters plus three Intermediate Macroeconomics in Depth sets, an applied set, and a synthesis set, organized by textbook and edition so chapter drills and timed simulation exams match the chapter your instructor is teaching. It is a separate program from principles-level macroeconomics, at the analytical depth the intermediate course teaches. It rehearses your instructor’s chapter tests and finals — there is no licensing exam for a college course — with results reported by chapter.
What this program is — and what it is not
It is a simulation of your course, not a licensing product. Licensing-exam prep rehearses one fixed, official exam. A college course works differently: your instructor chooses the textbook, sets the chapter order, and writes the exams. This program is designed around that reality. The textbook-and-edition selector aligns the simulations to the chapter sequence of the book your course actually uses, and chapter drills let you practice one chapter at a time, at the point in the semester when you need it.
It is not published, sponsored, or endorsed by any textbook publisher or author. PassProfessor is an independent study provider. The program is never branded or titled under a textbook’s name, and nothing in it reproduces textbook text, textbook figures, or a publisher’s test bank. Selecting your textbook only tells the program which chapter order to organize your practice around.
Every question is original. The bank was built from the published structure of an intermediate macroeconomics course — the standard chapter sequence and topic scope the discipline itself uses — and every stem, scenario, and answer option was written from scratch and checked against verified disciplinary facts. Sources supplied facts and course structure only; the questions are ours.
What’s included
988 questions, organized the way your course is organized. The bank follows a 10-chapter structure that mirrors the standard intermediate macroeconomics course, from macroeconomic data and measurement through consumption, investment, and government debt, plus three Intermediate Macroeconomics in Depth sets spanning the course’s long-run and short-run models, plus applied and synthesis sets. The full chapter-by-chapter breakdown is in the coverage table below.
Chapter drills. Practice a single chapter — only that chapter — until the misses stop repeating. Finished the Solow lectures? Drill that chapter until tracing a savings-rate change to the new steady state feels automatic. IS-LM test in ten days? Work the fluctuations chapters in sequence, the way your course presents it.
Chapter-based simulation exams. When a chapter test or a unit exam approaches, sit a timed simulation built from the chapters it covers, in the proportions your selected textbook’s organization suggests. Simulations draw questions you have not seen first, so a second or third run at the same chapter is a fresh test, not a memory exercise.
A textbook-and-edition selector. Different textbooks divide the same material into chapters differently — one book’s single chapter is another book’s two. When you select the textbook and edition your course uses, the program maps its bank onto that book’s chapter organization, so the chapter number in your practice means the same chapter in your syllabus.
Results broken down by chapter and topic. Your practice results report by chapter, so a weak area — say, the open economy, or the IS-LM model — shows up in your data while there is still time to fix it, not for the first time on a graded exam.
A note on editions and course versions. Instructors adopt different textbooks and different editions of the same textbook, and departments periodically revise the course itself. The bank’s organization follows the discipline’s standard chapter structure — the sequence the field itself teaches — and the selector maps that structure onto your edition’s numbering, so a chapter that your book splits in two, or merges into one, still lines up with the practice built for it. Where an instructor reorders chapters, chapter drills can be assembled in your course’s order; the practice follows the syllabus, not the other way around.
The course at a glance
Intermediate Macroeconomics has no single official exam, so there is no official exam-facts table to publish — your instructor’s syllabus is the authority for your course’s test dates, formats, and grading. What is standard is the scope of the discipline itself, summarized here as course background. For the full picture of what an intermediate macroeconomics course covers and how to study it, see our Intermediate Macroeconomics study guide.
| Intermediate macroeconomics — the course this program simulates | |
|---|---|
| Course type | Undergraduate college course (the second macroeconomics course, taken after principles; required for economics majors, with algebra and graphical model work throughout and calculus used to a degree that varies by institution) |
| Standard scope | Macroeconomic data and measurement; national income — production, distribution, and loanable funds; money, prices, and inflation in the long run; the open economy — exchange rates and the balance of payments; unemployment and the labor market; economic growth I — the Solow model; economic growth II — technology, growth accounting, and convergence; economic fluctuations — aggregate demand and aggregate supply; the IS-LM model, Mundell-Fleming, and the Phillips curve; consumption, investment, and government debt |
| How the course is assessed | Instructor-set chapter tests, unit exams, and a final — formats and weights vary by instructor and institution |
| This program’s bank | 988 original questions across 10 chapters + Intermediate Macroeconomics in Depth, applied, and synthesis sets |
| Program format | Chapter drills and chapter-based simulation exams, organized by your selected textbook/edition |
How the practice maps to the course
Every question in the bank carries the chapter it belongs to. Counts below are the bank itself, counted question by question from the delivered file — they sum to 988.
| Chapter | Practice questions |
|---|---|
| 1. Macroeconomic Data and Measurement | 48 |
| 2. National Income: Production, Distribution, and Loanable Funds | 51 |
| 3. Money, Prices, and Inflation in the Long Run | 47 |
| 4. The Open Economy: Exchange Rates and the Balance of Payments | 49 |
| 5. Unemployment and the Labor Market | 49 |
| 6. Economic Growth I: The Solow Model | 50 |
| 7. Economic Growth II: Technology, Growth Accounting, and Convergence | 48 |
| 8. Economic Fluctuations: Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply | 46 |
| 9. The IS-LM Model, Mundell-Fleming, and the Phillips Curve | 45 |
| 10. Consumption, Investment, and Government Debt | 51 |
| Intermediate Macroeconomics in Depth I | 101 |
| Intermediate Macroeconomics in Depth II | 100 |
| Intermediate Macroeconomics in Depth III | 101 |
| Applied Analysis | 101 |
| Synthesis and Integration | 101 |
| Total | 988 |
Depth follows the bank’s own structure: the bank’s depth, applied, and synthesis layers are unusually even — four sets tie at 101 questions each (Intermediate Macroeconomics in Depth I and III, Applied Analysis, and Synthesis and Integration), with In Depth II at 100 — because this course’s long-run and short-run halves carry equal final weight, and the bank’s weight sits where the course’s finals sit.
How to use it
- Join the notify list today. When the program opens, set up your course first: select Intermediate Macroeconomics, then select the textbook and edition your syllabus names.
- Drill the chapter you are in. After each lecture block, drill that chapter while the material is current. Short, chapter-matched practice beats a single long session the night before the test.
- Watch your chapter breakdown. Your results show which chapters are costing you. Return to the weakest chapter’s drill before moving on — intermediate macroeconomics builds model on model — the long-run chapters supply the production, money, and labor machinery the growth and fluctuations chapters all spend, so an early gap in national income accounting or the quantity theory resurfaces wherever the course turns.
- Simulate before each graded test. In the days before a chapter test or unit exam, sit a timed simulation over exactly the chapters it covers. Practice the pacing and the question style, not just the facts.
- Use the integrated set before midterms and finals. The cross-chapter questions combine chapters the way cumulative exams do. They are the closest rehearsal for a final that reaches back to the start of the term.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a licensing exam prep program? No. Intermediate Macroeconomics is a college course, not a licensed credential, and there is no official intermediate macroeconomics exam at the end of it. This is a chapter-simulation program: it rehearses the tests your own instructor gives, chapter by chapter, using original questions built to the standard scope of the intermediate course.
How many practice questions are in the program? The bank holds 988 original questions: the 10 chapters of the standard intermediate course, three Intermediate Macroeconomics in Depth sets, an applied-analysis set, and a synthesis set. Every question is tagged to its chapter, so drills and simulations can be built over exactly the chapters your test covers.
Which textbook does the program follow? The program is organized around the standard chapter structure of the intermediate macroeconomics course, and the textbook-and-edition selector maps the bank onto your book’s chapter order when you set up your course. No textbook is named, branded, or reproduced — the selector only aligns chapter numbering.
How is this different from principles of macroeconomics? Principles introduces the aggregates and the policy debates; this course builds the models underneath them — national income determined in the loanable funds frame, growth derived in the Solow model, fluctuations run through IS-LM rather than asserted. It is the second course in the sequence, with its own program here; principles-level practice does not rehearse intermediate exams.
How much mathematics does the course use? Algebra, growth-rate arithmetic, and sustained graphical model work throughout; calculus appears to a degree that varies by institution, from supporting use to regular derivation. The model logic is the same across those versions. Your syllabus and instructor set your section’s expectation, and the program’s practice follows the standard analytical scope either way.
What are the Intermediate Macroeconomics in Depth, applied, and synthesis sets? Second-pass material. The in-depth sets revisit the course’s long-run and short-run models in three layered sets at finer discrimination; the applied set presents compact macroeconomic scenarios; the synthesis set combines chapters the way cumulative finals do — a fiscal expansion traced through loanable funds, the open economy, and IS-LM in sequence, for example.
Can I practice just one chapter? Yes — that is the core of the design. Chapter drills draw only from the chapter you select, and simulation exams can be built over any set of chapters, so your practice can match a single chapter test, a unit exam, or a cumulative final.
Does the program take a position in the policy debates? No. The course’s live debates — stabilization against rules, the traditional against the Ricardian view of debt, the Phillips curve’s reliability — are taught as the discipline teaches them: each position with its model and its evidence, and exams grade how accurately students can run a position, not whether they hold it.
Does the program cover both growth and business cycles? Yes — that division is the course’s own architecture. The growth block builds the Solow model and its accounting extensions; the fluctuations block builds aggregate demand and supply and the IS-LM family; and the depth and synthesis sets deliberately cross the two halves the way cumulative finals do.
When can I start using the Intermediate Macroeconomics program? Soon — the 988-question bank is complete and quality-checked, and the program is in final preparation. Join the notify list on this page and we will email you the day it opens.
