Wrong answers to problems in "Introduction to Electric Circuits, 8th Ed"

I'm studying electric circuit analysis on my own using "Introduction to Electric Circuits, 8th Ed, International Student Version" by Dorf and Svoboda (ISBN 978-0-470-55302-2 to avoid any confusion) and it seems like every other problem I try to solve has an incorrect answer in the book.

If anyone has used this book for studying, did you experience this too or is it just that I happen to have the misfortune to choose the problems with incorrect answers for the most part? (or, do I simply suck at circuits!? LOL)

Thread 'What is the best conceptual high school physics book?'

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
