You can receive credit for Intro to Microeconomics and Intro to Macroeconomics with 5s on those respective tests. The SFS core requires two more classes, International Finance and International Trade, which you can’t test out of.

As for “smaller, advanced seminars”–they don’t really exist, save for ECON-003, which is just Intro to Micro and Macro condensed into a single semester.

Smallest econ classes are 400-level (and maybe some IPEC or IECO courses in the SFS), which are capped at 40, and you won’t be able to talk your way into them if you don’t meet the pre-reqs, which generally consist of intermediate Micro and/or Macro, and sometimes Econometrics, which itself has a pre-req of Economic Statistics.
