I heard that Ek added a new chapter on their Cars edition.. can someone please tell me what is it about? I d serious hate to spend another 55 bucks for a single chapter.
Thanks
Thanks
That's it ? So they didn't add a new chapter?All the passages are new in the CARS book.
Let me get this right.. you are saying that the new CARS 9th edition isn't that different from the 10th edition?Nope. Unless they decided to switch all the passages around, they all look new to me. I have both 101 verbal and 101 CARS so I triple checked
What is it , that you wanted to say?
Btw, do you have the 9th edition as well because it has those same sections as well .. Anwyasy thanks pal.... Best review From AmazonMy mistake, what I wrote was that the fourth chapter has no passages within it but it does have a corresponding 30min exam which consists of 3 passages (...$17/passage sounds kind of steep to me).
The chapter includes the following sections: identifying passage/question types, constructing the main idea, and building the spectrum step by step. I do not know what the 'spectrum' is because I have just started and I am on lecture ii.
Warning for buyers: be aware that the Examkrackers (EK) 10th ed. verbal reasoning book may be repeating pages 85-102, and missing pages 102-121. I purchased this package from "Dirtcheapbooks4u" and it arrived with damage and had the defective verbal reasoning book just described in the sentence above. I'm not sure if this is a manufacturer error where these defective books are being dished off in bulk to third party companies or if it was just a random fluke. I made EK aware of the issue and their 10th edition in stock seems to be fixed.
Now for the differences between EK 9th and 10th editions; The 10th edition fixes many mistakes from the 9th edition, thus saving an individual a days worth of correcting errors from the EK errata.
I would like to address the 3 biggest changes;
1) The actual text of the 10th ed. biology 1 book, now labeled "biochemistry" instead of "biomolecules" has included some more extensive research and content.
2) The Psychology & Sociology book in the 10th ed. has been amplified with more terms and sufficient content.
3) The five science books now have updated 30-minute exams. Instead of just 3 passages, it is now 4 passages and 5 discrete questions per chapter exam. The first 3 passages of the science books are no different from the 9th and 10th ed.
The other four books; Physics, Chemistry, Biology 2, and Verbal Reasoning seem to be nearly 85% identical to the 9th edition. I will note that the verbal reasoning strategy has had some changes that were noticeable, especially in chapter 4. Basically, EK seems to have updated their verbal strategy. I would just be cautious and check the 10th ed. verbal book to make sure you don't receive a defective. Overall, the 10th addition has been revamped and corrected for precision and accuracy. Excellent investment for quick content coverage.
