(poetry specifically) some of the information is written too casually to be useful and (I am aware it is in the process of being completed) some of the pages are incomplete. Please fix soon, this site has great potential to be one of my main sources of revision. thanks on a smaller note, some of the 'identifying with students' humour is more patronising than amusing. Just a thought, I don't mind too much but you may find people more drawn to you're site when using less informal attempts to "speak student".

Re-read your questions and answers in AP exam Prep and check for accuracy.

Often times your questions, graphs, or answers are incorrect. I was confused by many of your questions, but then I checked with my prof, and he confirmed that the question was wrong. For example, in question 2 in the comparative advantage section in Micro-economics, the correct answer is that it costs you 1/2 snicker bar to make one milk dud, since you can make either 500 snickers or 1000 milk duds (or a combo of the two.) You didn't have that option, and you cited "2" as the correct answer. Obviously, you flipped your numbers. For a paid service like this, you should be double-checking your questions.

2012-05-11T11:20:13-07:00

In 1995, I discovered a hidden code in the British Lottery and cracked the code. It revealed 300+ mathematical messages which I translated using "Thayer's" Lexicon. My 400 page ebook, The Lottery Code, is available for free from http://www.thelotterycode.net/downloadlink.php I hit the jackpot and want to share my knowledge and good luck with everyone.

fix the error identification drills [updated]

2012-05-11T11:16:44-07:00

I have found a few issues with these. For example, drill 6 number 6. The (A) segment is missing from the actual sentence. It reads "When to break a world record in a track event," when it should be ""When one is attempting to break a world record."

Watchmen MUST be included in Shmoop. It is a work of literary merit that excels in presenting a variety of themes that leave the reader overflowing with knowledge. Watchmen is simply an extraordinaire piece of literature.

The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser [updated]

This epic poem greatly influences much of renaissance literature. You make reference to it in several other study guides. It's long, yes, but so worth it!

Get the correct answers on the tests.

Caleb suggested:
I just took the Ap environmental Practice Quiz 1 and there were multiple questions where I knew I had the right answer and it marked it wrong. Also in the explanation of the correct answer sometimes contradicts the original answer you gave. There should also be better explanations on how to read the graphs because I have no clue how you got those answers which I am pretty sure are wrong because you walk through how to do it on one graph but have all the numbers wrong. So either explain the answers better so it isn't confusing or fix the answers. Sorry if my attitude is a little snobby, I don't mean to seem rude, I am just frustrated. Thanks!

revise the review of "Big Sur" to delete the phrase "His lifestyle of hard drugs and drinking" unless the writer is one who considers alcohol and marijuana to be hard drugs. I don't think most people think of alcohol and marijuana as hard drugs...usually when people mention hard drugs, they're thinking of heroin, cocaine, or pharmaceuticals...

In the AP science test prep drills (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics), images are missing, extra characters are included in molecular formulae, and some answers are just plain wrong (see Reactions, Drill 1, question 5 where gaseous water is excluded from the calculation). It looks like beta material, not quite ready for market.
