Although I got the same score Bama did, I'm going to disagree about not reading the textbooks. I used the JAM manuals and ended up adding a large amount of my own comments/notation to them while reading thru the texts. A not insignificant amount of that made it onto my flashcards (also JAM) for memorization purposes.

Other than that, everything else sounds pretty similar to what I did. The Actex Computational Review helped immensely, as did the seminar.

Overall, I didn't feel the material was extremely complex; it was just a matter of putting in the time and spending every spare second of my day memorizing those stupid cards.
