<p>I took practice test number 5 of the online course today, and I noticed an error in one of its math problems. Question 2 of section 5 is clearly flawed. Three parallel lines are cut by a transversal. One of the larger angles is 125 degrees. The question asks what the sum of a smaller and a larger angle is. The answer should be 180, but that is not one of the choices. When I consulted the answers and explanations, it became evident that the diagram used for the answer is different from the one of the test.</p>
<p>How could CB make a mistake? This shows how quickly thrown together the online course tests were.</p>
<p>Did anybody else notice this? Has anybody seen any other CB errors?</p>
<p>It's one question. It's not the end of the world. I'm pretty sure we'll survive.</p>
<p>Maybe you should contact customer services so they can fix it as soon as possible.</p>
<p>are you referring to that intercept question in which the z intercept is misplaced?</p>
<p>the online tests are extremely rushed. The math sections in one test are taken section for section (minus one or two problems) from one of the later tests in the 10 real.</p>
<p>you need to read the question more closely. it asks what the sum of the two SMALLER angles is, not the sum of the larger angle & smaller angle. If you dont believe me, you can look at the explanation as to how the correct answer was derived.</p>
<p>no, the diagram does have a mistake. the explanation poses a different diagram than the printed test.</p>
<p>I also noticed that some (if not most) of the reading passages are also directly from the 10 Reals book. I haven't been able to compare the questions, but some of the passages are definitely reused. I don't have much of a problem with this, except I already know what the passage is about (no matter how long ago I've seen it). For me, this doesn't well reflect real test "conditions", since it takes me longer to understand the passage when I see it for the very first time (like most people). O well.. no real complaints otherwise..</p>
<p>I did not read the question wrong, asportnut. The diagram on the test asks for the sum of a smaller and a larger angle, while the diagram in the explanation asks for 2 smaller angles.</p>
