"School savants are able to prepare more spells per day than typical arcanists, but their selection is more limited."
I'm not sure if the person who actually wrote this read it.
See, Arcanists CAST 'Spells Per Day' (it's a keyword). Arcanists Prepare 'Spells Prepared'.

There's a section... a whole section... with the words "Spells Per Day". :/
Personally, I bet the blame falls on quick editing/fixing... someone saw it, thought they were trying to say one thing, and 'corrected' their grammar/phrasing in editing... to something that was wrong.
Here are the rest of the problem phrases under 'school savant'
In addition, the arcanist can prepare one additional spell per day* of each level she can cast, but this spell must be chosen from the selected school.
These are technically correct, the arcanist can prepare more spells each day... but... not 'spells per day', those are never prepared.
Is it nitpicking? Maybe.
Are A LOT of characters getting extra power for free because they made this mistake: Yes. I have seen it on character sheets and in forums. I had a list I made from Giantitp and Paizo forums of people making this mistake.
Elemental Master:
The arcanist can prepare one additional spell per day* of each level she can cast, but it must have the elemental descriptor of her chosen element.
Only the Eldritch Font gains additional power, and it may not be able to use those due to not having a spell of that level prepared. (that puts it up to 2 levels behind the wizard in terms of highest level spell)
School Savant:
School savants are able to prepare more spells per day* than typical arcanists, but their selection is more limited.
In addition, the arcanist can prepare one additional spell per day* of each level she can cast, but this spell must be chosen from the selected school.
(My suggestion is to simply delete the words 'per day'). It does not change the meaning at all, but clears up any ambiguity, and the correction can be administered to existing books by a single swipe of white-out!
My suggestion, an edit for clarity, is to simply remove the words 'per day' from the two sections, from the summary and the main body, which will result in 3? minor corrections.
The other reason 'per day' is unnecessary is simple, Arcanists need not prepare spells daily, they can keep the previous day's prepared spells, or just change those they need to change.
Also, the arcanist does say "spell slots per day" in one entry.
My issue is how easy it is for people to miss that the specialist Arcanist only gains in versatility, not in total spells. :/ The wizard gets spells 1 level sooner, gets extra from being a specialist, and can take the 'Spell Sage' archetype!
