Errors in practice q's section

[Peter van Vliet]

David,
Is it possible to respond to some of the remarks on the practise q's for Gujarati ch 1-8 in the practise questions section (with frm1 filter).
Maybe just a general note but it would be helpful if some of the remarks in this section were incorporated into the acrobat files.
Thanks

Hi Peter, yes, I will take a look and see what I can do (in the next version of the PDF, they will all be addressed but that's after the exam next week). Thanks, David

Ok, that is unfortunate. I have similar queries with regard to Allen chapter 4.
Guess best to post queries in the forum.

Hi Peter, yes, I check the forum first each day. I do want to fix any and all problems the PDFs, but, honestly, i think it's an inevitable symptom of daily new questions + full transparency + full comment/user ability. (some of my competitors just don't have comments and just receive an email; whereas we don't edit/delete anything, which creates a daily accountability. Often times, cited errors are not errors, but just mistunderstandings. Other times, errors are errors, I commit errors). It would be a lot less work for me to not write so many new questions, but for example re: the Gujarati, I just started a totally original fresh set (e.g. yesterday, this took me 3+ hours to write, but i'm really proud of it http://forum.bionicturtle.com/threads/l1-t2-202-variance-of-sum-of-random-variables.4968/)
...so in conjunction with the new questions, I do go back to the PDF you are citing, vet all those comments, in order to prepare fresh revisions. But quantity + quality is time-consuming.
... it will save a lot of time to just lock them down, but i want to constantly increase the size and quality of the DB, so i think there is a reality in which everything is a "version" when you are transparent. Thanks, David
