Corrections

Browsed the site, looked at the error page, and found an error on the error page

p. 126 ex. 1 my fault: 3 x 12 is and always will be 48, not 36.

Nope. 3 * 12 is and always will be 36, not 48. Unless there’s some syntax that I’m missing.

p. 212 The given problem in paragraph three should be 4  2; I solved it as
though it were.

I assume I’m missing syntax, but it looks like a sentence fragment.

Thanks for taking the time to “pour” over the book!

Shouldn’t that be PORE over the book?

Re: errors – Every SAT book I’ve ever used has its share of errors.
I’m shallow for noticing this, but the author of Outsmarting the SAT looks quite attractive.

Outsmarting is a great book but here are a few more typos-

p. 102, bottom should read “the product of point b and e is closest to the value of point c”

p. 104, Example 1 – should read which of the following is equal to a2 – b2, not b2 – a2. b2-a2 would be negative since a>b.

p. 302, at the top “All you can do is house the dogs you have” should probably read more like this: “all you can do is put dogs in the houses you have” since we don’t lack dogs, we lack houses.

p. 302, near the bottom, the list of “a” combinations of “abc abd abf… aef” is missing one: “abe”

p. 311 I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure there’s no way to construct a box (that doesn’t overlap on one side and is empty on the other) from the rightmost example.
