<p>Is anyone sick of the countless errors in sparknotes products. They thought -pi / 4 was the same as -7pi / 4???? There are countless questionable analogies in their verbal book. "A Seat is apart of a chair" was their logic to one of the analogies. They should just try to make better products. </p>
<p>By the way, is sparknotes an accurate representation of the tests. Is their Math IIC the same difficulty as the real thing??</p>
<p>that's what i heard</p>
<p>I just got it today and its better than anything else except maybe PR which didnt have enough practice. I have taken one practice test in SN and 2 typos so far.
1:1 question has 3 of the same answer choices (didnt even notice this)
2: another question asks for value of Sin(B-A) when the answer is for Sin(A-B)
3. Another thing not really a typo was that language was a little unclear in a word problem (the one with a woman working and earning more per hour the more she works)
Otherwise, its pretty good. Doesnt seem like the questions are organized according to difficulty, or i just find trig much easier than functions.</p>
<p>I thought the Sparknotes US book was mostly alright. One unforgivable error: they say that JFK was assasinated by Lee Harvey Oswald as though it were an undisputed fact.</p>

<p>If that's the case, I wouldn't buy their products. What retards, how do they came to that conclusion is beyond me.</p>
<p>Yeah, the mistakes are bad, but... </p>

<p>It could have been an error that snuck past the editors (assuming there are any). -7pi/4 = pi/4. It's just that their product has an extra negative sign.</p>
<p>Yeah, it doesn't seem like a huge error to me. Anyway, I've taken their free practice test (and bought all their 33 practice for $25, great bargain) and didn't notice any errors.</p>
<p>However, I did notice a few errors in a PR online practice test for the SAT.</p>
<p>Yeah, good thing I found this topic. The Sparknotes Math Level II Practice EBook (Chapter 5, Section 1) has a practice question. They seem to think that 500/1000=10.</p>
