(And also a bit of time cursing in my head because of the "rarely tested" questions I kept getting!)
I honestly don't know if it was because TIA was not enough. Maybe if I had gone through TIA twice I would have passed? I honestly can't say.
The bottom line is, like you said earlier, drilling practice problems. It can never hurt to do enough practice problems. I plan on finishing ASM by August 31st and spend 2 months doing PE's and practice problems.
Hope this helps!

guess i've gone through the same experience as you did!
i also started out with ASM, found that the material was something that i can't "intuitively" understand, switched to TIA, then boom! i got a preliminary fail.
this time around i'm using ASM all through out, maybe have time to watch again the TIA videos, and hopefully still have time to do sample exams in four weeks. i'm also following a 5-lesson-per-week plan, and hopefully this will help me ace the exam.
