TEAS V Secrets Study Guide Mess ups

Published

Has anyone else noticed the mess ups in the mathematics section of the book? I was studying lady night and doing the example problems. I couldn't understand what they were doing. In the steps of the problem it talked about evaluating the exponent but there was no exponent. Apparently in this book, they have the exponents written as regular numbers. For example it had the number 42 and in the problem said to evaluate the exponent so that it was 16. The only way that would work was if it was supposed to be 4 to the 2nd power. But it was written as 42. I have found four problems that do this. How am I supposed to study this if I can't tell which numbers are actually exponents? Did anyone else's books do this? Or do I have a defective edition?

Which page are u talking about. I am also studying maths right now but haven't come across any problem. I bought my book a while ago though

I noticed a lot of misprints in the McGraw's practice test book. I was frustrated because every math or science problem that had a graph or picture in it, had missing lines or graphics in the problem (it was as if the ink rank out!). I could not attempt any of those problems because the pictures were not complete. I also came across one math problem that asked to MULTIPLY mixed fractions....and the answer in the back of the book had an answer for ADDING the mixed fractions. For the most part, though, I found the books very helpful.
