Jacobs Geometry 2nd or 2rd edition?

[chelsea in TN]

Hello,
I have a copy of Geometry 2nd edition by Harold Jacobs - I also have the teachers guide but no test booklet. I have thus far been unable to locate a copy of the test booklet for 2nd edition.

How important would it be to do the tests? Would we be okay to just do all the problems fromt he text and perhaps me make up a test from the problems already covered??


Or should I consider the newer Geometry Text - Seeing and doing? And buy the tests and teachers guide?

Thank you in advance,
Chelsea

I think the tests are not even written by Jacobs. I'm pretty sure the advice I read was to just use the end of chapter exercises as a test. I recently bought the third edition and didn't bother to get them. You can probably save your money.

Using the 2nd edition here and not bothering with the tests, and it's working fine here. : ) Warmly, Lori D.

I believe they were written by Jacobs. Although I'm glad I have them, I don't think they are absolutely necessary. They are very similar in content to the chapter review, but contain only 7-8 problems.

Ya'll have saved me some money :)

I think I actually was given the Jacobs Geometry as well. One class for next year taken care of.

Thank you again1
