    Too many mistakes in Actex MLC Manual

    With the respect of the "effort" the author inputted, I bought a new Actex MLC manual with about $200. Not worthy at all! Almost a copy of the previous M, but more typing errors like, "this the ...", the question is about (40), but answer given is about (50)................. I found about 10 such errors in my glance at the first few modules.

    Nothing is perfect, but this manual goes too far. The author should have respected his readers more.

    This is very standard for any of the study manuals that are first edition.
    Whether you are the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up, you better be running.

    I'm using the new ASM MFE manual, currently the Errata list is about 15 pages! and it is updated pretty much daily.

    I think on average there is a mistake every other page. I do appreciate the efforts with the Errata list though.

    Again, like Ken said, it is expected for the 1st editions, but everyone is on the same boat with the exam changes, so hope that makes you feel better.
