PassProfessor’s Intermediate Microeconomics program is a chapter-simulation program for students taking an intermediate microeconomics 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 971 original questions across 10 chapters plus three Intermediate Microeconomics in Depth sets spanning the course’s consumer, producer, and market-power models, plus applied and synthesis sets, covering markets and prices, supply and demand at analytical depth, consumer behavior and individual and market demand, uncertainty and consumer behavior, production and the cost of production, profit maximization, competitive supply, and the analysis of competitive markets, market power in monopoly and monopsony, pricing with market power, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and game theory, and factor markets, general equilibrium, asymmetric information, and externalities. There is no licensing exam at the end of an intermediate microeconomics course — there is your instructor’s exam, chapter by chapter — and this program is built to rehearse exactly that.
PassProfessor’s Intermediate Microeconomics program is a chapter-simulation program for the second, post-principles undergraduate microeconomics course: 971 original practice questions across 10 chapters plus three Intermediate Microeconomics 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 microeconomics, 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 microeconomics 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
971 questions, organized the way your course is organized. The bank follows a 10-chapter structure that mirrors the standard intermediate microeconomics course, from markets and prices through factor markets, general equilibrium, asymmetric information, and externalities, plus three Intermediate Microeconomics in Depth sets spanning the course’s consumer, producer, and market-power 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 consumer theory lectures? Drill that chapter until deriving demand from preferences and a budget constraint feels automatic. Oligopoly test in ten days? Work the game theory chapter 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, consumer behavior and demand, or pricing with market power — 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 Microeconomics 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 microeconomics course covers and how to study it, see our Intermediate Microeconomics study guide.
| Intermediate microeconomics — the course this program simulates | |
|---|---|
| Course type | Undergraduate college course (the second microeconomics course, taken after principles; required for economics majors and the gateway to advanced electives, with calculus used to a degree that varies by institution) |
| Standard scope | Preliminaries — markets and prices; the basics of supply and demand; consumer behavior and individual and market demand; uncertainty and consumer behavior; production and the cost of production; profit maximization, competitive supply, and the analysis of competitive markets; market power — monopoly and monopsony; pricing with market power; monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and game theory; factor markets, general equilibrium, asymmetric information, and externalities |
| 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 | 971 original questions across 10 chapters + Intermediate Microeconomics 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 971.
| Chapter | Practice questions |
|---|---|
| 1. Preliminaries: Markets and Prices | 48 |
| 2. The Basics of Supply and Demand | 43 |
| 3. Consumer Behavior and Individual and Market Demand | 51 |
| 4. Uncertainty and Consumer Behavior | 51 |
| 5. Production and the Cost of Production | 47 |
| 6. Profit Maximization, Competitive Supply, and the Analysis of Competitive Markets | 43 |
| 7. Market Power: Monopoly and Monopsony | 44 |
| 8. Pricing with Market Power | 48 |
| 9. Monopolistic Competition, Oligopoly, and Game Theory | 50 |
| 10. Factor Markets, General Equilibrium, Asymmetric Information, and Externalities | 50 |
| Intermediate Microeconomics in Depth I | 97 |
| Intermediate Microeconomics in Depth II | 100 |
| Intermediate Microeconomics in Depth III | 98 |
| Applied Analysis | 102 |
| Synthesis and Integration | 99 |
| Total | 971 |
Depth follows the bank’s own structure: the Applied Analysis set (102 questions) is the bank’s largest single set, with Intermediate Microeconomics in Depth II close behind at 100 — the three depth sets together revisit every core chapter at second-pass difficulty, because this course is graded on running models correctly, 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 Microeconomics, 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 microeconomics builds model on model — the consumer and producer chapters supply the optimizing machinery the market-structure chapters all spend, so an early gap in constrained optimization 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 Microeconomics is a college course, not a licensed credential, and there is no official intermediate microeconomics 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 971 original questions: the 10 chapters of the standard intermediate course, three Intermediate Microeconomics 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 microeconomics 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 microeconomics? Principles introduces the ideas; this course rebuilds them as models. Demand is derived from preferences and constraints, cost from technology, market outcomes from explicit equilibrium arguments, and welfare from measured surplus. It is the second course in the sequence, with its own program here — principles-level practice does not rehearse intermediate exams, and this program does not present itself as principles review.
How much calculus does the course use? It varies honestly by institution: some sections derive results with calculus throughout, others work graphically and algebraically with calculus in supporting roles. The concepts and model logic are 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 Microeconomics in Depth, applied, and synthesis sets? Second-pass material. The in-depth sets revisit the course’s consumer, producer, and market-power models in three layered sets at finer discrimination; the applied set presents compact market and policy scenarios; the synthesis set combines chapters the way cumulative finals do — a tax analyzed through consumer decomposition and competitive welfare together, 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.
I did well in principles. Will this course feel similar? The vocabulary will be familiar and the standard will not: intermediate exams grade derivations, decompositions, and equilibrium arguments that principles courses accept as assertions. Most students find the first consumer-theory chapter is where the level change announces itself — plan your study time for the new standard from the start.
Does the program cover game theory and information economics? Yes, at the course’s standard scope: game theory sits inside the market-structure chapter on monopolistic competition and oligopoly, and asymmetric information and externalities anchor the closing chapter, with the depth and synthesis sets returning to both at second-pass difficulty.
When can I start using the Intermediate Microeconomics program? Soon — the 971-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.
