NOT A TEACHER
(1) No, it is NOT a mistake!
(2) In the United States of America, people say "on the weekend."
(3) Our British friends prefer "at."
Or the whole thing by an Australian, who would typically use both constructions about equally. But then, he would still be inconsistant.It's mystifying that a book that gave the BrE "at the weekend" would have a test question that read with the American "on the weekend." The only thing that could explain it is that the text was written by a BrE speaker and the questions by an American.
