As printed in the book and on the included CD, the first question of the first practice has an extraneous equals sign that means the correct answer cannot be arrived at through any math that a PhD in physics might use, let alone a recent BS. There are consistent omissions within the review sections (including the explanation of the Dulong-Petit law, which omits the portion of the derivation that allows you to solve the related question on the first. Grey Spirit said Absolutely horrendous for study purposes. Whoever edited this book had no knowledge of math or physics, or likely just stopped paying attention after payday. You cannot get through a single page of the practice exam without encountering some critical error in the question or the answer choices, which are only exacerbated by the pitiful attempt at "detailed explanations of answers" that follow. Both the practice exams as well as their answer keys are riddled with mistakes.Do not buy this book. This is supposedly the 6th edition that I purchased; I would hate to see.

I found typos almost consistently every two pages. It just seems like the authors did not take a second look at what they were writing.
