2011 Cambridge checkpoints methods making a lot of mistakes?

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed? Noticed lots of typos in the questions and the answers say otherwise.

Yes, Neil Duncan must have been high on something whilst solving the questions.

Just to add to this, do you think they're worth doing? I've already started on practice exams, but i've only done the first 10-15 questions out of checkpoints  :-\

Yeah i have the 2010 copy and that's full of mistakes as well.... I dont think ill bother with it anymore, it's so frustrating - just use another exam book like Exambusters.

It's not too bad, I'm a little frustrated at the level of professionalism of the answers.

Checkpoints is VCAA exams, I bought the book with intentions that it will be like the Physics series where they had their own questions plus some vcaa questions.

Yes but some of the answers checkpoints give don't even match up with the same answer given by vcaa in the exam.

I personally ditched it but it depends on how you find the book.

I like the spesh one a lot more, it has more old  exam questions like 2000+ ones. But yeah i stopped using the methods one.
