A vast improvement over the previous edition K. Elmore As a math tutor, it is important for me to research possible books that may be used by my clients. One thing I've noted is that most of these negative reviews have been posted for the previous edition. Apparently, Amazon automatically attaches the reviews to this new edition, which is quite unfair.Those reviews were certainly not wrong. The previous edition was rife with errors, literally dozens and dozens. After having looked through this new edition, I can confidently say that the work is much improved. As an example, on page 242, the previous edition listed that 100 grams = 1 kilogram, 100 . Has many errors - If you use a test preparation center, make sure they don't use this book. We recently paid for a diagnostic exam at a local test preparation center, which will remain nameless. They used this book's exam for my son's assessment. Fortunately, before making any decisions about using the center for a full preparation course, we took their proposed program home and asked them for a copy of the diagnostic questions. However they did not give us a copy of all the questions and all the answers.In reviewing the questions for some of the answers the center had marked wrong we couldn't understand why there were no choices that were actually correct, yet my son was marked wron. Not worth the paper it is written on - an embarrassment for McH This book was written by someone who could not pass a HS equivalency exam. The number of incorrect answers to the Math problems is unbelievable. For your own sanity, teach your child yourself before you even think of opening this book. I'd like to know who edited this. How can McGraw Hill publish this - does anyone in this world know grammar-school math? I wish I paid for this directly and not along with tuition to the review class. I would insist on a refund and sue for emotional damage!I am unable to enter zero stars - that is the only reason it gets one star.
