I recently went to a district-wide textbook sale and purchased about 10 textbooks that interested me. After I selected one, worked through a lesson, and did the practice problems, I realized that the student editions of the textbooks didn't contain any answers. Any suggestions as to how I should check my work or aquire the answer keys to the textbooks?
The textbook companies really make it hard for independent learners to check their answers. I suppose that this greatly cuts down on the student just copying the answers in the back, but a textbook is worthless to an independent learner without the key.

Good for you for trying to learn outside the classroom. I'll be honest, though. You can't blame this one on the companies. Many teachers don't want the answers available for their students to copy, so the companies have to keep them private. Check the publishers' websites, and contact them to see if they will help you. If not, see if you can get a teacher at the appropriate level to help you with this, or at least to check your answers.

Email your prof with your concerns. He might have an answer key. Otherwise, look for the workbook that goes with the textbook. I know you don't want to spend any more money, but usually the workbook has questions, answers and explanations.

Go to the textbooks website and see if you can order a teacher's addition, with answers included.
