Skill Books - What Levels?

I'm a bit puzzled about the skill books our sims can buy and read. Nicole has been reading Book 1 for Logic. She advanced to Skill Level 2. I bought the second book in the series, but when she started reading it, no bar appeared over her head. I'm guessing the book was too advanced. I directed her to put that book down. Later, after she'd had breakfast, I had her go back to reading Book 1. Yes, the bar appeared, it completed filling, and I got a pop-up telling me she'd reached Level 3. Suddenly, she got tense. I read the moodlet associated, and it said the skill book was too difficult. It was over her head. Huh? She was reading Book 1, had just advanced a level, so why was it suddenly too difficult?

Is there anything in this game that tells us what skill levels are covered for each book in a skill series? Our time is so limited, I don't want any sims wasting time by reading books that won't advance their levels. I'm wondering if Nicole is now ready to advance to Book 2, but I'm still baffled as to why she had a moodlet making her tense because Book 1 was too hard. That doesn't make sense. I should say, that's not logical...LOL.

Another problem is that when I click on Book 1, the menu choice is "re-read" -- leading me to believe she's gained all the skill from it she can. Apparently, not. I just had her pick it up again, and the skill bar does appear, so even though she's Level 3 she is still increasing her logic skill with Book 1.

So, at what level does a sim require Book 2 in a skill set? Does anyone know?
