Default Exam C prep material? What would you recommend?

Waiting for MFE results, and currently researching exam C prep materials.

For MFE prepping, ADAPT seem to be really good, is there something like ADAPT for exam C? I heard ADAPT is really good for MFE but I am not sure if it's good for exam C.

In the end, the best recommendations I found in the forum are TIA/ASM and ADAPT/ASM. However, TIA is quite pricey -_-

I wonder if TIA only has a package that just offers:

• 500+ practice problems with video solutions totaling more than 23 hours
• 5 sample exams with video solutions
• Detailed formula sheets

without the video?

I am pretty good learner just by doing practise questions.

Or for cost effectiveness... ADAPT questions + ASM Practise Exams? Prices seem much more reasonable.

How would you guys stack the ASM practise exams to the real exam? Are the questions quite simliar to the real thing? Are the practise exam topics the same topics in the actual exam? What I mean is... I don't want to be doing practise questions that ain't gona be tested on the exam.

Thanks a bunch if you guys can give me an answer!

If you just want a pass grade, I think ASM and sample questions are good enough. I will prepare for the Exam C next spring, but many of my schoolmates have passed C with the use of ASM.
