I just finished it...and am still seething about the lab kit. Half of the labs don't require ANY special equipment (graph paper and markers), the ones that do require test tubes, beakers, beads etc., still don't use one quarter of what is contained in the kit.
The part that makes me the maddest is that when I tried to order the kit through the link offered by SL, it would not work (after repeated tries over several days). so I went to the lab company and ordered what appeared to be the right kit #1399, right price $98.00, right class, etc. Turns out there is a SL#1399 which is NOT listed on their order form, and supposedly contains exactly what is needed for Straighterline. My kit- the basic 1399 did not have enough sodium bicarb (no big deal...baking soda anyone?) or phenol red solution (available pool supplies.) IMHO they should have COMPLETELY different stock numbers if it actually makes a difference.
End result...I got a 96. I bluffed and took some educated guesses and managed without the missing supplies. Now I have a big box of mad scientist supplies for the granddaughters.
