Exam cramming books

I've got a few exam cramming books - basically books with example questions and answers, so that you can practice prior to taking the exam.

Anyway, I've just got the most recent one. It's from totally different authors to the others - no apparent connection. Yet, there are several questions which are very familiar to anyone who has used the older books.

More interestingly, not only are the questions memorble - but this new book has the some of the same mistakes!

Well, I think they're mistakes - The text book referenced in the answer doesn't actually address the exact question asked. But logic, some internet texts, and my own simulations suggest that the answers given are wrong.

Cliffs:
New exam cramming book comes out
Contains same questions with same mistakes as older books
 
How do you think the publishing companies make so much money? We are out there trying to get an education without getting into loads of debt and they are helping by coming out with "new" additions of books every year so you can't get older, cheaper ones, for your class. It's ridicuous. Just another way to scam more money out of college students and there is nothing you can do about it.
Unless you are lucky enough to have parents that can foot the bill for your education there is no way you are getting out of school without at least 10,000 in debt. I personally owe way more than that and a lot of it is due to having to sped $5oo or more on textbooks every semester.
